Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 341 Selection of Candidates for the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang to Prepare for the Formation of the Ocean Fleet
In the first half of this year, the main task Zhu Qiyu set for himself was to select talents.

Needless to say, Jinshi in the new department must be carefully cultivated.Even if it is a stock of officials, Zhu Qiyu intends to plow it from the beginning like plowing the land. This is called picking up what is missing and making the best use of everything.

Especially officials at the level of ministers and chief ministers have to dig out.

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, the reform of officials will be carried out, and a standard promotion process will also be formulated for the official class.In this way, the enthusiasm of the officials can be mobilized, and secondly, a large number of supporters can be won.

This year, Shanxi was completely squeezed dry, and then began to reorganize the Great Wall defense line.Then kill the Liao king by the way.

Complete the three-year tax exemption plan next year, and then tentatively engage in extermination of Buddha.

In the following year, he began to conquer Jiaozhi and re-entered Nanyang.At this time, it is basically time for the Taishanghuang faction to make a final fight. Cao Jixiang, the only eunuch who has rebelled for thousands of years, is funny to think about.

Therefore, in order to use troops against the south, it is necessary to greatly strengthen the power and role of Nanjing, especially the Nanjing Ministry of War and the Chinese Army Governor's Office.

This is why Zhu Qiyu summoned all the officials in charge of the Nanjing Military Department.

As for whether to send Wang Ji and Chen Mao to Nanjing, it still depends on the situation.

Seeing the emperor wandering there, He Yi also started to be in a daze.

Zhu Qiyu felt a little psychological pressure because his eldest brother was about to return to Beijing, so he began to calculate and weigh back and forth.As for He Yi, because of the newlyweds, her health couldn't take it anymore.

When Zhu Qiyu finished thinking about his thoughts and came back to his senses, he saw He Yi sitting there staggering, already a little confused.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and smiled wryly: "Xingyi, cheer up, we are about the same age, why do I feel that you are a little depressed these days?

Is it because the food is not good? I still have a lot of fresh venison at home. How about I send some to you? "

When He Yi heard that there was venison, he nodded his head immediately, and then began to complain: "It's not that I'm in poor health, but that the newly married lady 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 have to tell me what to do for the minister, now the minister is afraid to return home. "

Zhu Qiyu waved his hands vigorously: "Don't mention the harem, are you the only one who dare not go home, 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 an emperor, I still fantasized about accepting the harem with three thousand beauties.I didn't understand until I really became the emperor. Let's forget about those assumptions. Only fifteen concubines are going to kill me. "

He Yi nodded: "The minister is also the same as His Majesty, it will be like this for the rest of his life, if there are too many wives and concubines, it will be easy for the house to be restless."

"Who says no? Don't look at my fifteen favorite concubines who are gentle and virtuous, but they all said straight, if I really take in another group of women, the backyard house fight will definitely start, and it won't be any worse than that. People are peaceful.

So I don't want new women anymore, otherwise I might drink medicine someday.Life is short, and the most important thing is to live well. "

He Yi asked curiously: "Your Majesty's favorite concubines can also fight at home? I always thought that all the empresses are as gentle as water, like fairies who don't eat the fireworks of the world."

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands helplessly: "They are as good as you think now, as long as I don't accept newcomers, I can do anything to them.

Once newcomers are recruited, it is uncertain what will happen in the future.

So I'd better guard them like a jade, and I'm already happy like a fairy, so there's no need to make trouble for myself.

All right, I'll have someone send you a few deer there when you go back.

Let's talk about who will be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. Jiao Hong, the minister of the household department, was an excellent candidate, but unfortunately he died of illness in the 14th year of Zhengtong.

Hey, worry, tell me if there are any good candidates. "

He Yi asked: "Is Your Majesty planning to start building naval forces in Fujian and Zhejiang and restart Western trade?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded.

He Yi smiled and said, "I'm from Fujian, why don't I recommend myself."

Zhu Qiyu immediately shook his head resolutely: "Don't even think about it, you, Huang Pu, and Xu Youzhen are capable of handling this errand, but I won't let you go.

Jiao Hong died of illness on the way back to Beijing in May of the 14th year of Zhengtong. In June, there were police in Shanxi, in July, Yanghekou was defeated, and in August, the Tumu Fortress was changed.

Judging from this point of time, I always feel that Jiao Hong's death is not that simple.

Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy or not, voyage to the West is an extremely sensitive matter anyway, and I will not let you go.You still recommend me a personal choice. "

He Yi smiled wryly when he heard the words, and could only reply: "Henan Zuo Buzheng is a rich young man. During his tenure in Shaanxi and Henan, he fought against the powerful, unyielding, courageous and promising, and his reputation shocked the world.

The minister thought that being rich just met His Majesty's requirements. "

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu leaned back weakly, covered his face with his hands, and sighed again and again: "Oh, I also transferred his file from the Ministry of Officials and studied it carefully.

Judging from his resume, it looks pretty good. He is obviously a capable person who can become a second-rank chief envoy as a Juren.But when I saw someone recommended by Sanyang, I got a headache. "

He Yi persuaded: "Nianfu was recommended by Yang Pu. Among the three Yang Pu, Yang Pu is known for his honesty and integrity, and his integrity is somewhat better than the other two Yang Pu.

Moreover, Nian Fu is different from Yu Qian. Although they are both valued by San Yang, when Yu Qian was imprisoned by the Supreme Emperor, the vassal kings and powerful men in Shanxi and Henan collectively wrote a letter to plead for Yu Qian.

And Nianfu really fought against the powerful, and he was incompatible with the vassal kings and powerful in Shaanxi and Henan.

Nian Fu really bet on his own future, risked his life, and would be dismissed from office and punished at any time.

This really doesn't look like a fake. Nian Fu sincerely wants to plead for the people and clarify the administration of officials. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded, but still didn't want to speak.

He Yi continued to add: "Since Your Majesty wants to liquidate Sanyang thoroughly, you should use Nian Fu as an example, and let all civil and military officials see that Your Majesty will not punish for no reason.

As long as you are talented and virtuous, and sincerely serve the court and the people, no matter who recommends you, His Majesty will wholeheartedly appoint you regardless of suspicion.

In this way, the hearts of civil and military officials can be settled, the government and the public can be at ease, and your majesty's holiness can be demonstrated.It is beneficial to the country and the people, but not harmful. "

Zhu Qiyu thought for a moment, then turned the corner: "Okay, order Nianfu to come to Beijing. I will personally instruct him, and then let him be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Restarting Western trade is a big problem, I hope Nianfu will not let me down.

This time, we not only have to build an ocean-going navy that is invincible, but also make it a custom, so that the courtiers behind cannot undo it. "

He Yi asked again: "The examination will start in a few days. Originally, Renchen, Huang Pu, and Yue Zheng were appointed as co-examiners, but now Yue Zheng is going to meet the Supreme Emperor, so who should fill this spot?" Woolen cloth?"
