Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 799

Since Zhu Cihong returned to Beijing, in order to highlight the status of the prince, Zhu Youjian would ask Wang Chengen to place a seat at the lower side of his dragon chair when Zhu Youjian called the old and important ministers into the palace, so that Zhu Cihong would also attend every meeting .

In order not to make the officials look down on the crown prince, Zhu Youjian specially instructed Zhu Cihuang: Listen more, memorize more and talk less, carefully observe and understand each person's views and strategies, and after the discussion is over, review each person's remarks. To sum up, find out everyone's perspectives on the same thing, absorb the right ones, and discard the wrong ones, so as to develop a good habit of analyzing and solving problems from multiple angles.

Four years of traveling has made Zhu Cihong, who was still childish, mature and stable, his fair face has become a healthy wheat color, he has grown a beard after the crowning ceremony, and his words and deeds are no longer flamboyant , but there are traces of deliberately imitating his father, which made Zhu Youjian both amused and emotional: Before he knew it, he had traveled through the past 13 years, and the young man with a slight beard under his chin was as old as he was when he was young. When he came here, Daming, who was dying of illness, is now full of vitality.

Considering that the strategy against Japan needs to be laid out in advance, Zhu Youjian ordered all the cabinet ministers to come to the Zhaoren Hall of Qianqing Palace to discuss matters, and Zhu Cihong attended as usual.

After expressing their thoughts, Zhu Youjian and his son sat quietly and waited. The cabinet ministers had different expressions, but judging from the expressions on their faces, it was obvious that they were all thinking.

"Qizou Shengshang, it is not difficult to plan a strategy to deal with the Japanese country, but the ministers know very little about the current situation of the Japanese country. The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy can win a hundred battles. If someone who is familiar with the details of the Japanese country can help the ministers to solve the confusion, then the remaining matters will be left to you. Wait for the Holy One to relieve his worries!"

It didn't take long for Lu Xiangsheng to speak first to break the silence in the hall, and his few words caused the rest of the officials to nod their heads one after another.

Although there was the Japanese Rebellion in the East China Sea during the Jiajing period, and the War to Resist the Japanese and Aid Korea in the Wanli period, in the hearts of these important ministers, the Japanese country has a very low sense of existence. In the eyes of everyone, the Japanese country is nothing more than a group of dwarfs. That's all, the country is weak and likes to jump up and down, and it is separated from Daming by the natural barrier of the East China Sea, so there is no need to have any entanglements with it, but since the emperor suddenly intends to get involved in this island country, then everyone has to understand this matter first.

Although Zhu Youjian generally knows that Japan is currently in the period of the Tokugawa shogunate, he does not know more about Japan's past and present than everyone present, but Lu Xiangsheng's words hit the nail on the head. No problem, but you have to have a general understanding of the other party, right?
"Qi Zou Shengshang, the courtiers are probably unique in the country of Wa. Since the sage said that this matter did not happen overnight, why not find a few more people from the places that have business contacts with the country of Wa, in order to have a better understanding of it from many aspects. Read more.

The minister thinks that it is better to discuss the domestic situation as a matter of urgency, but what is the holy will? "

Seeing that everyone was thinking about who knew more about the national conditions of the Wa country, but couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while, Sun Chuanting stood up and saluted.

It is now July of the 21st year of Chongzhen, and the north and south of the Ming Dynasty are in the rainy season. Reports from various governments have come one after another. Some say that a certain county has a flood, some say that a certain place has landslides, and villages are buried. Speaking of local locust plagues, etc., the cabinet is very busy now. It has to arrange the allocation of money and food for disaster relief and mitigation, and also instructs the affected areas to strictly prevent the occurrence of epidemic diseases. It's not in a hurry, let's quickly discuss the many troublesome things in front of us, and then everyone will be busy with their own affairs.

"Father, there is a candidate for my son, and he is in the capital, why not invite him for consultation?"

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, Zhu Cihong, who had participated in several meetings but rarely spoke, suddenly spoke.

"Oh?

Who is the prince?But it doesn't matter! "

Zhu Youjian smiled and looked at Zhu Cihong and replied.

"Father and elders, Xu, because the state affairs are too heavy, they forgot that there is a Japanese master in the capital—Jinghaihou!"

When Zhu Cihong mentioned the title of Marquis of Jinghai, everyone, including Zhu Youjian, immediately understood.

"Ha ha!
Although it is a folk saying that it is dark under the lamp, it is the most reasonable!
If it wasn't for the crown prince's words to remind me, wouldn't I and the other ministers have followed this common saying?
Companion, send someone out of the palace quickly, and tell the Marquis of Jinghai to enter the palace to discuss matters! "

After the "Kunlun" and "Splitting Sky" warships entered service and participated in actual combat, Zheng Zhilong immediately realized that the good days when the Zheng family dominated the coastal waters of Daming were gone forever. It shows that some big bosses have strange thoughts about him. If he doesn't know the way, maybe someday catastrophe will strike him. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong didn't think about it for long, and immediately decided to apply for moving to the capital. I often see Tianyan.

Of course, Zhu Youjian is very pleased that Zheng Zhilong is so knowledgeable and interesting, because it relieves him of the psychological burden of being a villain.

When the South China Sea Fleet was getting more and more wings, some courtiers had already released rumors of liquidating the Zheng family, and they quickly responded like a cloud. Although the cabinet ministers did not participate in it, nor expressed their approval, Zhu Youjian knew that these People have taken a fancy to the wealth of the Zheng family, which is incomparable to the enemy's country, and the several trade routes they control. As long as the Zheng family is liquidated, after its destruction, these things will be divided up soon.

From the point of view of his heart, Zhu Youjian has no ill feeling towards Zheng Zhilong, and even has some good feelings for him. Without the strong assistance of the Zheng family, he doesn't know if he can survive the precarious situation at the beginning.

Coupled with Zheng Zhifeng's series of good performances after arriving in Beijing, Zhu Youjian also gave up the idea of ​​killing the donkey.

You can't let the Guo Xingye, who is famous in later generations, suffer an indiscriminate disaster.

After Zheng Zhilong was allowed to move to the capital, he rushed to Beijing with his family within one month to prove his sincerity. Zhu Youjian then gave Zheng Zhilong the mansion of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Cheng, to Zheng Zhilong in this way. After taking a reassurance, immediately, the discussion in the court about liquidating the Zheng family came to an abrupt end.

Entering the Duke's mansion with the title of marquis, the holy will is already obvious. If you stand up and provoke trouble at this time, it will be the old birthday star hanged himself-he thinks his life is too long.

When Zheng Zhilong was about to meet, Zhu Youjian specially asked him to bring his eldest son Zheng Sen (Zheng Chenggong) into the palace. He showed a very obvious love for Zheng Sen, who has a big square face and handsome facial features, and praised him for his unique appearance, and he will definitely do something great in the future.

At this point, Zheng Zhilong, who is the most perceptive, has finally let go of his heart, because he feels kindness from the emperor's every move, especially the praise of the eldest son. Although it is a bit inexplicable, it is indeed from the heart.

After His Majesty saw it, Zhu Youjian wrote the plaque of "Jinghai Hou's Mansion by Qin" and sent it to Zheng's Mansion. Zheng Zhilong led the whole family to shout long live at the gate and thank the Holy Grace. He knew in his heart that as long as there were no major accidents, , the prosperity and wealth of the Zheng family can finally continue.
