Zhu Yijun stayed in the Ciqing Palace for dinner, and half an hour later, Liu Ruoxin and Nie Ziyi entered the palace.

When they entered the Cining Palace, they visited the Empress Dowager and Zhu Yijun successively. Empress Dowager Chen Xiaoer smiled and said, "Go and call Chen Yuanyuan and the others, and let them come and have dinner together."

Although Chen Xiaoer is the empress dowager, she will never bully the beautiful girl at will. Even if it is a palace maid who has just entered the palace, Chen Xiaoer will take care of her and explain to the eunuchs and female officials in the palace that they are not allowed to bully the palace maid who has just entered the palace.

At noon, Zhu Yijun had lunch and went to the imperial garden to rest, but Liu Ruoxin, Nie Ziyi and Chen Yuanyuan were left in the Ciqing Palace by the empress dowager and began to investigate the candidates for the empress!

Choosing a queen is not an easy matter. Not only must you have both ability and political integrity, but you must also be tolerant of others. Otherwise, if a jealous woman becomes the queen, there will be no peace in the harem!

Among the many beautiful women, Chen Yuanyuan is a woman who brings disaster to the country and the people. Zhang Yan is known as the first of the five beautiful queens of the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhang Yan is not only beautiful, but also good at assisting the government and assisting the emperor...

The candidate for the Empress of Daming needs to be carefully selected, and must not be slack!

Forbidden City.

Zhu Yijun strolled on the stone road in the Imperial Garden.

Minister of Industry Lv Tiaoyang followed closely behind the emperor.

"Master Lu, how is the progress of the matter that I ordered you to handle?"

When Lu Tiaoyang heard the words, he said respectfully, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is now making every effort to produce new firearms and other items."

"And on the battleship, there has also been a lot of improvement. On the basis of the original, Daming's new battleship will increase its speed and carrying capacity faster."

"Especially in terms of combat, there will be significant improvements."

Zhu Yijun nodded slightly and said solemnly, "How many warships does Daming own now?"

Lu Tiaoyang's expression paused, and he said in deep thought, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I, Daming, have a total of about [-] battleships, of which there are about [-] new-style battleships!"

"The minister's intention is to replace all the old warships and use the new Daming warships uniformly before Daming Ping destroys the Japanese country!"

"it is good!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Yijun nodded his head in admiration, and said with a smile: "Aiqing has this idea and determination, I am very relieved!"

"I leave this matter to you, so I can rest assured."

Lu Tiaoyang bowed humbly and was not complacent because of the emperor's words.

Just at this moment, Shen Lian, the guardian of Jinyiwei, walked over quickly and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, news has come from the land of Miaojiang."

"Um?!"

Zhu Yijun's expression moved slightly, he took the ensemble from Shen Lian's hand, and glanced at it quickly.

"Your Majesty, the General Horror personally led the other nine generals to be stationed at Blackwood Cliff."

"Now the hiding place of the fog hidden mine has been discovered, and the siege has been launched."

"According to the investigation, during the encirclement and suppression process this time, the terrifying general accidentally intercepted a batch of gunpowder from the Japanese country!"

When these words sounded, a cold look flashed in Zhu Yijun's eyes.

"These Japanese slaves! They are courting death!"

boom!

Zhu Yijun threw the ensemble to the ground heavily, and said in a cold voice, "Send my will and tell the terrifying general, I don't care what methods and means he uses."

"No matter how many these Japanese slaves are, since they dare to step on this land, I will let them know that Daming will always be their nightmare!"

"The minister obeys the order."

Shen Lian bowed and hurriedly left the Imperial Garden.

Lu Tiaoyang looked at the figure of Shen Lian leaving, hesitantly said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do here this time."

Zhu Yijun nodded slightly and said, "But it doesn't matter."

"Your Majesty released the vassal king this time. Although the power of the vassal kings in various places has been weakened, there is a lack of many officials in the management of the fief."

"This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise, once it is put on hold, it will affect the court's implementation of the one-whip law in the fiefs and the taxation of the court."

Zhu Yijun heard the words and said thoughtfully: "Aiqing's remarks do make sense."

"But it will take a certain amount of time to consider whether its officials have the ability to govern the place."

Having said that, Lu Tiaoyang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this minister has an idea, but I don't know if it's appropriate or not."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "I love you, but it doesn't matter!"

Lu Tiaoyang met the Son of Heaven's gaze and said respectfully, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the intention of the minister is to take this opportunity to hold the imperial examinations ahead of schedule."

"Although there are some violations of the previously stipulated time for the imperial examinations, at this moment, this method is the most appropriate!"

"Only in this way can we provide the court with more talented students to assist His Majesty."

When Zhu Yijun heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he nodded, "This matter is not too bad!"

"Send my will, and immediately call the cabinet's first and second assistants to see me in the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

"According to the order."
