Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 344

Zhu Youxiao knew that it would be difficult for Zheng Zhilong to accept this condition, but considering the interests of the entire Ming Dynasty, he had to accept it if he didn't!

Even if the Manchu Qing surrendered Zheng Zhilong in the original history, Zhu Youxiao didn't think that his political vision was shorter than that of the Manchu Qing.

Besides, Daming is not the same as it was during the Chongzhen period, and the Jiannu in the north can no longer pose a threat. Of course, as long as there is no trouble in Daming Pass, Jiannu can't destroy Daming, and this is even more so now.

And Daming's own financial problems have been basically solved, because there is no expropriation of Sanxiang, the abolition of corvee, and large-scale engineering construction have eased class conflicts.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zheng Zhilong to wrestle with Daming.

"The cabinet immediately replied to Xiong Wencan according to my intention. I have already stated that this time, Zheng Zhilong begged to join the court, not the court begging him to return the prodigal son to his hometown. Hand over the warship to the imperial court, otherwise don't think that the imperial court can easily accept their submission and recognize the legitimacy of these pirates. Tell Xiong Wencan, don't easily agree to Zheng Zhilong's unreasonable request in private just because you are eager to make meritorious deeds. If you dare to do so, I will punish him for the crime of deception!

Of course, it is not impossible for me to negotiate. In order to show my kindness, I recognize the legitimacy of all the properties and acres he bought in his hometown, and at the same time allow him to keep the wealth he has accumulated over the years. Even if he is a marquis, I can marry him, but he must come to the capital, whether he is working for the court or living in retirement, it depends on his own ideas, so let's draw up the decree! "

As soon as Wang Chengen said that, he came over and handed it over to Cao Huachun, another eunuch who was on duty and followed Zhu Youxiao.

At this time, the sun gradually emerged from the Jinluan Hall, and the mist covering the entire white marble began to gradually dissipate. Zhu Youxiao also came near the Wenhua Hall, and saw the figures of a group of civil servants.

It's rare to be able to come here early and wait in the damp and cold environment when the dew is white tonight and the cold is deep in the morning.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao also showed a human side, so he ordered Wang Chengen to add charcoal to each of these ministers, and it became a custom.

The ministers are naturally very grateful, Zhu Youxiao is smiling and silent, he wants to really be grateful, and the best way to be grateful is to not endorse in front of himself later. What use is there on the ground.

But at this moment, Cao Huachun ran back again, panting and said: "Your Majesty, the Royal Weaving Bureau's memorial has arrived."

"Um, bring it to me for a look," Zhu Youxiao said, and took the memorial from Cao Huachun, and then saw a group of ministers looking at him eagerly, trembling all the time, just like a resentful woman, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel amused: "Why are you staring at me? It's not impossible to have a sutra feast. Let me deal with this urgent matter first. Seeing that you are all frozen, it's too late for this moment." The charcoal fire is brought in, why don’t you just go for a few laps outside, Wang Cheng’en, ​​you take the lead, you’ll warm up after running, and you won’t be shivering when you speak the scriptures for a while!”

Zhu Youxiao sat on his throne as he spoke, and Wang Chengen immediately put the prepared stove under Zhu Youxiao's feet. A hot feeling came from the soles of his feet, which made Zhu Youxiao's whole body feel chilly. All were dispelled in an instant.

But at this time, Tang Xiangtai, a lecturer at the Imperial Academy, couldn't help but cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you just asked my ministers to go for a run outside. This is really insulting to politeness, and it is not in line with etiquette."

"What's insulting to the gentlemen? It's inconsistent with the etiquette. Did Zhou Li mention that running is insulting to the gentlemen? And I just want to keep you warm." Zhu Youxiao hurriedly said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Chengen, quickly take everyone's love to you." Ladies and gentlemen, remember to run slowly, many of them are veterans of the three dynasties, so don't run too fast, let the imperial physician watch from the side."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help snickering to himself as he spoke, seeing the unwillingness of the ministers of the six departments and nine ministers, he deliberately put on a furious look: "Why, do you want to resist the edict? "

Then, Zhu Youxiao looked at the memorial presented by the Royal Weaving Bureau.

There were quite a few civil officials participating in the banquet, at least the weight was very important. Among them were the officials who knew the scriptures as the chief assistant of the cabinet, the six ministers, the censors and envoys of the left and right, the ministers of the Dali Temple and the Imperial Academy. Bachelor and other waiters.From the Hanlin Academy, Chunfang and other officials and the Guozijian’s sacrificial wine, two people will be selected as lecturers, and two officials from the Hanlin and Chunfang officials will be selected to display and cover books, plus other cabinet scholars and Zhu Youxiao A total of twenty people were requested by the special department to attend the sutra banquet.

But now, these twenty or so people, from Qingliu officials who dared to enter the Hanlin Academy in their twenties and thirties to officials as old as seventy, all stood outside the Wenhua Hall, lined up according to their official ranks, and followed Wang Chengen slowly. ran up.

Although a group of ministers were very upset about this in their hearts, and even secretly scolded His Majesty for the absurdity of this move, they must go back and give a few words of advice, but now they can only follow Wang Chengen honestly.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not tell Wang Chengen how many laps to run and when to stop.

And Zhu Youxiao here is already conveying to Cao Huachun that the cabinet should deal with the Royal Weaving Bureau's first trade with the Ryukyu Kingdom that he himself voluntarily transported: "Although the Ryukyu Kingdom is just a small country that professes a vassal to our Ming Dynasty, it is very important to us. Daming is still very important. Now that its new ruler is enthroned, I, Daming, can’t be perfunctory. I have to have the letter of credence and congratulatory gifts. At the same time, I want to go to the Ryukyu Kingdom to do a big business. The first step of going abroad to do big business must not be taken lightly, if Zheng Zhilong is really dishonest, don’t be too polite, tell Beihai First Fleet that the entire army would be wiped out rather than compromise!"

After talking, Zhu Youxiao got up and came outside the hall. Seeing that several ministers had run too far, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Go tell Wang Chengen and bring them all in."

All of a sudden, a group of civil servants who participated in the sutra banquet came in panting. These civil servants were weak people and never knew what exercise was. Can't come out, and Zhu Youxiao is not angry, just drinking tea at the side: "Let's start the feast."

The first Jingyan lecturer stood up first, a little out of breath and said: "My minister Zhu Ziming, please ask Your Majesty."

"Let me ask you, the sea and the territory are uneven. If you are a sage king, how should you deal with it?" Zhu Youxiao asked. The "University" began to sweat slightly on his forehead.

"Don't read it, it's not in "University". I know that you are in charge of talking about university today. You really think I will ask you about university. Answer my questions!"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but teach the old Hanlin a lesson.
