Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 726 Zhu Qiyu promotes all disciples and changes the leadership of Shuntian Mansion
  Zhu Qiyu has already made a calculation. This year he will be thirty and he will have ten or eight sons, and then it will be up to chance.

Taizu gave birth to twenty-six sons. Zhu Qiyu felt that he was almost the same as Taizu, and there was no need to argue with Zhu Zhongyi and Zhu Qizhen, the two generations of Qingcheng kings of Jin Dynasty.

Zhu Zhongyi clearly wrote in "Records of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty" that there were forty-four sons and there was no specific number of daughters, but they were around fifty.

The number of children of the next Qingcheng King Zhu Qizhen is said to have exceeded that of his father Zhu Zhongyi.

Zhu Qiyu gave up challenging Zhu Zhongyi and Zhu Qizhen and his son. If it continues again, his beloved concubines can't bear it anymore, the ministers are almost reaching the limit of their psychological endurance, and his own treasury can't support so many children to settle down and start a family in the future.

In fact, the ministers have despaired of returning the throne to the throne, unless Zhu Qiyu's son dies. The problem is that it is too difficult to kill the dozen existing princes.

Zhu Qiyu happily finished his breakfast while thinking about the future, then dressed neatly and leisurely came to Qingyun Pavilion to manage politics.

Today there is one more person than usual, Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Wenfang, father and son, two powerful eunuchs, Pei Dang and Ruan Zhu, and three civil servants, He Yi, Gao Yao and Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng, who is only [-] years old, is a new flower explorer and Jingtai Zhongliang who was the first to write a letter to ask for help from Yi Chu. Naturally, he should be focused on cultivation.

Zhu Qiyu took the lead and asked: "Have Wang Yue, Yu Zijun, and Ma Wensheng returned to Beijing?"

Gao Yao replied: "No, calculating the time, it will take three to five days for them all to arrive in Beijing."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "When they return to the capital, arrange for them to see me immediately."

The first batch of Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai has been practicing for seven years. Zhu Qiyu is ready to fully arrange for his emperor's disciples to enter important positions.

Although the previous dynasty also left many capable ministers, in the end it was the Jinshi from the Jingtai Dynasty who were closer emotionally.

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "When will Duke Cao Guo arrive in Beijing?"

Gao Yao replied: "Based on the distance, there are still about ten days."

Zhu Qiyu nodded. His close friends, nobles and military generals, who were not very busy recently, would all be recalled to the capital to report on their duties.

Zhu Wenfang asked curiously: "Father, are these all civil servants and generals on the northern border? Are they going to fight the Tatars and Oara again?"

Zhu Qiyu explained: "I don't want to start a war, but the situation has changed and a war will break out at any time.

Although our national strength is rapidly recovering, the remnants of Meng Yuan are not easy to fight.

Relatively speaking, they are much harder to defeat than Japan and Annan. They are mainly cavalry and can run away at any time.

The grasslands and deserts are so big that it is difficult for you to surround them.

This is also the fundamental reason why both Taizu and Taizong were unable to completely eliminate Meng Yuan.

Even the most successful Han Dynasty could win the war when Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were there. As soon as the two men died, the Han army suffered defeats in various ways.

The difficult problem facing our father and son is to find a strategy to completely eliminate the Meng Yuan.

If we can complete the unfinished business of Taizu and Taizong, then our contribution will be great. "

Zhu Wenfang really started thinking after hearing this.

Zhu Qiyu asked Gao Yao: "Ting Jian, you and I have not been together for a long time. I will arrange two more positions for you.

You took up the post of Youzhong Yun of Youchunfang and the doctor of the Literature and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You still hold these positions concurrently. "

How could Gao Yao have any objections to such a promotion? He quickly knelt down to thank him.

Youchunfang Youzhongyun, the sixth rank, means that he has officially become an official of the East Palace. There are a total of twenty-four positions of sixth grade and above in Zhan Shifu. Even if Nanjing and Beijing each arranged a set of Zhan Shifu officials, the total would only be [-] positions.

This is a carrot and a pit, and each carrot is a genuine minister of the prince. As long as they can occupy a pit, it means that the future is bright and far-reaching, and there is a stable guarantee.

The doctor of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel is the fifth rank, and it involves the selection and appointment of hundreds of officials, so it is an extremely critical position.

Zhu Qiyu's move not only cultivates Gao Yao, but also consolidates Zhu Wenfang's team and enhances his influence.

After promoting Gao Yao, Zhu Qiyu asked He Yi: "Xingyi, I would like to change the current Shuntian Fu Yin, Fu Cheng, and Zhi Zhong. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

He Yi was startled when he heard this. Good guy, the top three chief officers of Shuntian Mansion have to be replaced in one go.

"Do you have a rough range of who the Holy Spirit would like to choose from?"

Zhu Qiyu replied: "The Jinshi scholars in the Jingtai Dynasty are not qualified enough, so just choose from those in the same class as you."

Since Zhu Qizhen had not been able to cultivate his last generation of Jinshi, he encountered the Tumubao Incident, so Zhu Qiyu was relatively reassured about this generation of Jinshi, and many of them were reused.

Hearing that he was going to be selected as a Jinshi in the same year, He Yi hesitated, as if he didn't dare to say what he wanted to say.

Zhu Qiyu knew what he meant and encouraged him with a smile: "Don't avoid relatives when doing internal promotions, and don't avoid enemies when doing external promotions. Whether you are a fellow countryman or a good friend, you can safely recommend me.

In the thirteenth year of Yuanshou, there were a total of [-] Jinshi. We should avoid this one and that one, so how can we recommend them. "

He Yi then replied: "Chen Jun, a doctor in the Guangxi Qing Li Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is upright and upright, not afraid of the powerful, and is extremely capable, so he is worthy of being appointed governor.

Huang Fu, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment of Nanjing, was upright and upright, and cared about the people. He could be appointed as Fu Cheng.

Qiao Yi, who is assigned to the official department, is upright in his actions and quick in thinking, and can govern at will. "

He Yi also wanted to say a few alternatives, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Just the three of them, there have been many changes in the capital recently, let them try it first.

Achievements are achieved through hard work, and you won’t know until you try. "

Now that the personnel appointments have been discussed, the next thing to do is the matters at sea.

He Yi summarized the news: "First of all, the coast of Japan is all under the control of the Daming Navy. Except for officially licensed ships, no other ships can enter or leave Japanese ports.

Secondly, Jeju Island has gradually become a transit port, and a small number of merchant ships from the south have transited through the economic island to go to North Korea for trade.

Maritime merchants from Shandong went directly east to Seoul, North Korea.

Also, we have been sending naval ships to station in Ryukyu. Ryukyu was originally a transit point for Eastern trade, and it has been affected a lot in the past two years.

From the king to the dignitaries to the common people, they were all quite dissatisfied.

As time goes by, turmoil may arise. "

Zhu Qiyu leaned back. There were really a lot of things going on. After capturing Japan and Majapahit, the navy had to completely control the first island chain before the mission of managing the ocean could be initially completed.

"I just confirmed that Ryukyu is a country that cannot be conquered, and now I go to capture Ryukyu. Isn't it a bit of a slap in the face? There is also little Ryukyu, this is also very important.

It has been so long since Governor Nian Fu of Fujian and Zhejiang took office, but he has never mentioned his plan to occupy Xiaoliuqiu. "
