Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 801 The Prince's Way Out Zhu Yu's Career
A few days after the cabinet formulated the strategy of driving away tigers and wolves, Zheng Qi, the chief steward of the Jinghaihou's mansion, rushed to Tianjinwei Wharf with several entourages. Go to visit Zheng Zhilong's old Weng Yuhuang, persuade Weng Yuhuang and his patriarch Songpan, contact other daimyos who are dissatisfied with the Tokugawa shogunate, and fight against the shogunate by force in the name of restoring the emperor's rights. The Zheng family will smuggle Daming military equipment against them be funded.

With a sharp blade in his body, he kills himself.

There are many daimyos who are dissatisfied with the Tokugawa shogunate, but due to the lack of strength, they can only swallow their anger. If there is a strong external force to support them, the ambitions of many people will breed and spread. The probability of this small island country returning to the Warring States Period will be very large.

After agreeing to the cabinet's strategy against Japan, Zhu Youjian stopped paying attention to this matter.

Success or failure, this is not going to come to fruition anytime soon.

If the cabinet's first set of strategies fails, and the Hirado clan is unwilling to take the lead in confronting the shogunate, the Zheng family will implement the second set of plans: spreading rumors and forging evidence to make the Tokugawa shogunate suspicious of the Hirado clan, and then in the middle Use some small tricks to deepen the misunderstanding between the two sides. In this case, powerful figures in the shogunate will demand that the Hirado clan be suppressed by force in order to make an example.

Knowing that the strength is not enough, the Zheng family's military assistance may become a necessity for the Hirado clan. If this situation is "unintentionally" detected by the shogunate, then it is impossible for both sides to do nothing.

Zhu Youjian believed in the abilities and means of the ministers, especially Chen Qiyu and Yang Sichang, who were masters who were good at planning and creating internal strife. This matter was not against their own family members, so they could use it to their fullest without any scruples.

In front of Queen Zhou in the harem, Zhu Youjian praised Zhu Cihong for his recent performance, praising him for being calm and meticulous, and for his detailed understanding of court affairs. to him.

Zhu Youjian's attitude made Zhou Hou very happy, and it also made Zhu Cihong feel a little proud, but then Zhu Youjian also reminded him gently, don't be complacent. Swell with a little grade.

Zhu Youjian warned Zhu Cihuang to keep a clear mind at all times and never be arrogant, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

In Zhu Youjian's plan, Zhu Cihong will continue to stay in the capital to listen to and observe politics after his big marriage. When he has children, Zhu Cihong will hide his identity and go to the grassroots to serve as a county magistrate, so as to have an intuitive understanding of how local officials usually govern. Cognition, having a clear understanding of Li Shu's needs and plight, can only return to the capital, the center of power, after the end of his term of office.

Although he has just experienced a four-year study tour, during which he has dealt with all kinds of people and seen countless people and things that he had never thought of, Zhu Youjian believes that study tours are like traveling with a group in later generations, with many places to visit , but they all belong to the nature of watching flowers on horseback, and the difference between calming down and staying in a certain place for enough time is still very huge.

After seeing the eldest son who returned after four years away, there have been obvious changes from the inside to the outside, Zhou Hou has no opinion on Zhu Youjian's follow-up plan to train the prince.

The prince who grew up in the deep palace is like a seedling in a greenhouse. It is difficult to grow into a towering tree without being ravaged and baptized by storms. Zhu Cihong's current words and deeds are compared with Yongwang and Dingwang who have been staying in the capital. There are very obvious differences, and there is already a faintly distinctive demeanor and demeanor on his body. If he goes to sharpen it again, I believe he will become even more excellent and outstanding.

What makes Zhou Hou feel more sincerely happy is that Zhu Youjian and his son have always looked like a loving father and filial son when they get along with each other in and out of the palace, and this state is not deliberately pretended by one of them. After getting acquainted with the father and son Zhou, you can feel it from many details.

Whether in public or in private, Zhu Youjian never reprimanded the prince. When the prince did something wrong, Zhu Youjian always patiently helped him analyze and summarize the reasons. In the process, Zhu Cihuang understood his mistakes Where, and then teach him how to use the correct method to solve such problems. It was under Zhu Youjian's patient teaching that Zhu Cihong was able to develop his current generous and steady but not wise character.

Zhu Cihong's every move also attracted the attention of all parties, but because the matter involved the throne, no one dared to comment publicly. All the courtiers knew that the emperor and the prince were close.

King Yong and King Ding are now studying at the Polytechnic Institute, and Zhu Youjian has not yet decided on their feudal lands. However, he has initially considered that the fiefdoms of King Yong, King Ding, and the future adult princes will all be sealed in the south. Line omitted.

In the future, the fiefdoms of the domestic vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty will be further reduced, and they can even be replaced in other places, and these domestic vassal kings will be moved overseas one after another.

He plans to do this when he retires.

The vassal kings would definitely not agree. Huaxia has always paid attention to the difficulty of leaving the homeland, but in order not to leave future troubles for future generations, Zhu Youjian will take the method of forcibly relocating at that time.

We can no longer allow the suzerains to occupy so many resources. If you want to occupy them, you can. There are places overseas, and you can’t have both. If you want to stay in your homeland, then it’s no problem. How to make a choice is up to you.

That's all for the prince, the rest is for the princess.

Auntie Zhu, who was named the eldest princess, has reached her full age. Although she is no longer as naughty as she was when she was a child, she has developed a pungent and straightforward personality.

At that age, it was time to marry and be a woman in Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Youjian ignored Zhou Hou's nagging every day, and always insisted on the concept that Zhu Wei must be [-] years old to get married, and Zhu Wei is also a matter of getting married. She doesn't seem to be interested, and is busy all day in and out of the palace.

Since the 19th year of Chongzhen, Auntie Zhu has a new interest.

In order to increase farmers' income, Zhu Youjian ordered that Sihai Animal Husbandry build large-scale dairy farms in the four cities of the capital. Each dairy farm has [-] to [-] cows. The hired farmers are basically from poor families, and the dairy farm can provide them with a good income, which is enough for them to live a life of food and clothing.

After going out to a dairy farm by chance, Aimee Zhu developed a strong interest in this novelty. After returning to the palace, she immediately found Zhu Youjian. management rights.
