Chapter 566 The Emperor's New Cake

His Majesty the Emperor is already in his early twenties this year, and he is married and has a child.

More importantly, the Forbidden Army was already in his hands.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Internal Guard of the inner court.

The Central Secretariat of the Outer Court and the officials in charge of the Six Ministries were basically promoted during his reign.

Although it is said that in the first six years of his reign, he did not manage the government himself, but was just a mascot, but it has been three and a half years since Hongde took charge of the government for six years. The prime minister changed twice.

Veteran ministers of other yamen also withdrew from the court stage one after another.

For example, Zhao Changping, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, filled the vacancy because of the old Shangshu Liu Jizhang's retirement.

In the past three and a half years, under the intentional or unintentional operation of the emperor, the top management of the imperial court has almost completed a round of replacement.

In other words, the transition from emperor to courtier has basically been completed.

His Majesty the Emperor now has a very stable position.

Let's say that.

You need cronies to have cronies, and political achievements to have political achievements. It took Shen Yi and others almost two years to drive the coastal Japanese pirates out of the land. This is a great political achievement.

For the emperor, the only blemish was that Hong De suffered a moderate loss during the seven-year conflict with the Qi people for more than half a year, but this loss was embellished by Di Baosi , the publicity was a tie, and it didn't affect His Majesty's reputation much.

That is to say...

His Majesty the Emperor's current position is very stable.

In the sixth year of Hongde and the seventh year of Hongde, the Empress Dowager Sun may unite with several prime ministers of Zhongshu to abolish him as the emperor...

But now, it has been nine years for Hong De.

Up to now, the only thing that can restrain His Majesty the emperor is morality, and nothing else.

Although the Holy Son of Heaven rules the world with filial piety, this sentence is a slogan after all, and the emperor is the only supreme in the court.

Ninety-five Supreme.

After listening to Shen Yi's words, His Majesty the Emperor sat back to his original seat silently.

He was silent for a long time, then slowly closed his eyes, and said: "Shen Qi, you say this kind of thing, you are trying to provoke the blood relatives of the Tian family, do you know that?"

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't provoke the Tian family's flesh and blood. What I mean is that Your Majesty is the supreme being in the world and the only sun in the sky..."

"Shit."

The emperor opened his eyes, glanced at Shen Yi, and said coldly: "Is the emperor in the north the sun?"

Master Shen smiled sarcastically.

Flattering and patting on the head, forgetting that there is another emperor in the north.

"Your Majesty is Da Chen, the only sun."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "One day, he will be the only sun in the world."

The emperor sighed silently: "When I heard this kind of words for the first time, I felt very exciting, but now I hear it again, and I realize that it is extremely difficult."

The emperor walked down the imperial steps with his hands behind his back, came to Shen Yi's side, then reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and said, "Shen Qing... Is there anyone who is particularly afraid?"

"For example, your father?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, my father has been in Jiankang in his early years. I and my younger brother only see each other once or twice a year in Jiangdu's hometown, so it is not scary."

"I…"

After the emperor said this word, he hesitated for a while, and then continued: "Forget it, there is no one around here, and I am the same age as you, so I will tell you what is in my heart."

The emperor found a chair and sat down, and then said a little discouraged: "My father died when I was young, and I was only ten years old when I became the throne."

"At that time, inside and outside the imperial court, it was all supported by several ministers and queen mothers from Zhongshu Province."

"Six full years."

The emperor lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "During the past six years, the court has not lived in peace inside and outside. There are people from Qi staring at you outside, and there is also Uncle Jin Wang who is in his prime of life inside..."

In the early years of the emperor's accession to the throne, he did feel a little trembling, but he was very lucky and survived without any danger. Because of this, the emperor, who is quite nostalgic for the past, has kept Yang Jingzong and Xiang Yang unmoved. .

You know, after old man Yang stepped back, officials at all levels have consulted his memorabilia, as well as the things that the inner guards have found out, both openly and secretly, have piled up like a mountain.

The emperor said a little dejectedly: "During those six years, my mother was so strict with me that even now..."

Having said that, the emperor didn't go on.

Shen Yi felt a little helpless, but he still coughed and said, "In this case, let the empress dowager go to see Gu...to see De concubine, your majesty, please say hello to the imperial hospital, and let them not say what they shouldn't say if…"

"If this method doesn't work, then let the empress dowager know about it."

"For the face of the Tian Family..."

Shen Yi lowered his brows and said: "The Empress Dowager will not make any noise."

If the empress dowager is sure that the granddaughter of Dali Siqing is the seductive woman the emperor is looking for outside, then whether Gu Hengbo can save his life after giving birth is between five and five.

More importantly, if this identity is confirmed, although the queen mother will not say anything, then no matter how many sons Gu Hengbo will give birth to in the future, unless the emperor has no other heirs, the princes she gives birth to will lose their inheritance rights permanently!
Master Shen lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty...the minister is a foreign minister after all, and the minister...cannot participate too much in the affairs of the inner court."

"Um…"

The emperor nodded silently, and said, "I know."

"To be honest, I didn't want you to come forward about this matter. After all, you are my future important minister in the Hong De Dynasty. It's just that there is really no suitable person around me to handle this matter."

"As for what you said, I will seriously consider it again. Later, I will go to Kunde Palace to meet my mother."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused, and then said: "The matter of the coastal capital should be prepared early. No matter how those civil officials try to stop it, I will build this capital sooner or later."

Speaking of this, the emperor said in a muffled voice: "If they really don't give money, I will pay for it myself, and I will do it!"

The emperor planned to use this coastal capital to replace the Huaihe Navy, so he naturally made a great determination.

Speaking of business, the emperor asked again: "By the way, it has been half a year since Xu Fu went south, what are you doing now, do you need me to do anything?"

Speaking of business, Shen Yi became more serious, bowed his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, after Xu Fu arrived in Fujian, he was not in a hurry to start a big business. Instead, he investigated the local market in detail according to the minister's wishes. Now the main It is selling tea in Fujian, and the other is some medicinal materials business, which does not make a lot of money, but..."

"Very solid."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Combined with some military rations left by Prince Jin for the anti-Japanese army, it is enough to feed 5000 people at present."

The emperor reached out and stroked the growing beard on his chin, thoughtfully: "Zi Heng."

He turned his head to look at Shen Yi, and said, "Tell me, should I write a note to Xu Fu, and just let him sell salt..."

Shen Yi smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, the local salt merchants have complicated forces, so if they rashly intervene, I'm afraid it won't be long before the minister will go south to collect Xu Fu's corpse..."

"Well…"

The emperor narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and then looked at Shen Yi.

"I'm very short of money right now."

He looked at Shen Yi and said softly: "Well, Shen Qing, while you are still in Jiankang, go back in the next few days and bring me a charter. If there is anything that needs my cooperation, as long as it doesn't harm the sky or harm the people, I will accept it." Cooperate as much as possible."

"also…"

The emperor bowed his head and thought for a while, then continued: "Also, there seem to be two thousand households in the anti-Japanese army...help you manage the anti-Japanese army, right?"

Shen Yi nodded slightly: "Yes, Your Majesty is very aware of the details. One of these two people is called Ling Su, who was originally from Linhaiwei Qianhu, and was dragged into the Anti-Japanese Army by the Minister's report to the Ministry of War."

"The other person is also from Linhaiwei, but he was promoted little by little. He is a rare fierce general."

"That's all."

The emperor reached out and knocked on the table, and said, "You write a letter to them and ask them to come to Jiankang, just say..."

"Just tell me, I need to find some time to meet them."

The big boss was still worried about his old lady just now, but now he put all his thoughts on the coastal defense force. He looked at Shen Yi and smiled and said: "I want to see how miserable these two thousand households who have defeated the Japanese pirates are. They are useful, and I will use them again in the future."

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said: "At that time, they will also thank you "Mr. Shen" for your kindness."

Hearing the word "Duke Shen", Shen Yi was startled, then hurriedly knelt down, and said in panic: "Your Majesty, this army's rough people are making jokes about flattering horses... I am panicked..."

The emperor watched Shen Yi's reaction quietly, and when he saw Shen Yi kneeling on the ground, he smiled dumbly.

"Forget it, I didn't say anything."

The emperor got up and stepped forward, personally helped Shen Yi up, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, with a faint smile on his face: "You and my monarch and ministers work together, in the future, if you can create a career, you, Shen Yi and Shen Ziheng."

"Why can't it be my Lord Shen from the Hong De Dynasty?"
