eldest son of Ming dynasty

There were only a few lights on in the palace at night.

Of course, there is also a charming moonlight.

Before dark, the emperor originally announced his honor to the concubine.

But when Concubine Jing finally arrived, she asked the eunuch on duty to remind her to wait for a while.Because the emperor is summoning the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

When it comes to official business, the imperial concubine dare not make any mistakes.

But standing outside, she could hear the emperor roaring inside, which made her feel heartbroken. Anger was extremely harmful to the liver, and liver qi was reversible. If a person cannot be in a gentle state, but is always happy and angry, it is actually not good for him. The body's Qi and blood are regulated.

However, there was nothing she could do about this matter. Government affairs of the previous dynasty were taboo in front of people like them in the harem.

Since you have to wait, you can only wait. The concubine crossed her hands and stood upright to face the moonlight. The silhouette of the beauty under the moonlight was embedded in the deep palace pavilion, giving people a hazy beauty.She is slender and tall, with a neck like a swan and pupils like blue waves, which is fascinating to look at.

Not long after, You Zhi stepped on the threshold from inside, saluted and said, "Concubine Jing, you are ready. Concubine Jing, please come in."

Behind You Zhi, Mao Yuwen and others left in a hurry. Although there was no direct relationship, they were probably very frightened to be scolded like this.

Concubine Jing walked inside with her skirt in hand, only to find that the emperor was grabbing her waist and twisting his neck.

The hair that was tied up was also untied by him.

Concubine Jing knew that the emperor was diligent in his work before entering the palace, but she did not expect that she would summon the ministers before going to bed.

"Wait a long time?"

After the eunuchs left, the emperor reached out and took her catkins.

"Soon, I, my concubine, should wait for His Majesty."

Her voice was a little soft, probably because she thought the emperor might still be angry, so she held her voice a little tight.

Zhu Houzhao didn't explain that much. After helping her sit down on the bed, he found a comfortable position to lie down and rested his head on her soft thigh.

Concubine Jing also understood very well. Her green fingers immediately touched his temples, pressing and rubbing them, enjoying it very much.

Zhu Houzhao also closed his eyes and rested his mind, "Mei Mansion sent some lychees to the palace. These fruits must be eaten fresh. I asked them to send them to each palace, you can have a taste."

"Yes," she agreed softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao turned over so that he could put his hands on her thighs easily, and then he started to be dishonest, but on the surface he was still very serious, "I heard that you have been collecting medicinal materials recently, and you want to make some medicine to relieve my anger. Thank you for your hard work, concubine."

"Your Majesty is unbearably hot every summer, and His Majesty is unwilling to delay government affairs. Your concubines will feel sorry for Your Majesty when they see you."

But he wasn't angry. He was used to the air conditioner and suddenly couldn't adapt to it.

As Concubine Jing said her words, she suddenly felt a strange sensation in her body. She held her mouth with her palms and exclaimed "Ah".

After that, Zhu Houzhao lifted up half of his body and knocked him down.

Extinguish fire.

……

……

Early in the morning, except for Yang Tinghe, who went to Shandong for the promotion of sweet potatoes, the other three cabinet members were all disturbed by the returned memorandum last night.

So I handed in the note very early and asked for an interview.

However, Zhu Houzhao was actually too lazy to vent his anger with several veterans about this matter. The key point is that it is useless to vent his anger. In officialdom, self-preservation is instinctive.Being so angry every day can make you mad to death.

Besides, now he is forced to express his position here.

But he was mainly annoyed, so he ended the topic with a few words, "Let Mr. Wang Ge be responsible for this matter. The case is clear and simple. Convict him as he should. After the matter is settled, he will make a report. Where is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?"

You Zhi was very discerning and said, "I will go and announce this right now."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, and then continued to speak to the three pavilion elders, "Under the influence of Chen Tai, several people under Governor Fengyang are afraid that they can no longer be used. However, the magistrate and county magistrate are extremely important and cannot be left vacant for too long. Yang Pavilion Mr. Wang, you two go to the cabinet with Liang Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to discuss and select a few qualified people to fill the vacancies. As for me, I will not discuss it with you one by one. As per the old rules, report to me. Just read it."

Yang Yiqing and Wang Hao bowed their heads, "Yes." "One more thing, Gu Renyi doesn't have a new position yet, right?"

The prefect and county magistrate Zhu Houzhao will not care about all of them. He will focus on a few key points. Only at the provincial level will he personally decide each one.

This is targeted, otherwise it would be impossible to control it.

Even if I pretend to confirm with them who the prefects are today, they will forget about it after a while.Because there are too many.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed not true." Yang Yiqing added.

"Oh~" Zhu Houzhao nodded suddenly, and then asked: "What has he been doing this month?"

"I heard that Gu Yishan told people that he was busy with government affairs in the past, but this time he finally got free time, so he has been spending time in the library garden recently." Wang Hao had a smile on his face, "If anyone advises him to move around as soon as possible, find a place for himself He is not happy with the new job, saying that studying is a great pleasure in life and he is reluctant to part with it, haha."

Zhu Houzhao was also amused and said, "This Gu Yishan is just a stubborn donkey."

Wang Bing began to drink the ecstasy soup again and said: "Since ancient times, people with stubborn tempers have only been used by saints. Your Majesty is a saint, so he can be convinced and willing to serve the emperor."

Zhu Houzhao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, "The reason why I kept him at that time was really because I hadn't thought about it yet. But I was deeply impressed by this Gu Yishan. He dared to say in front of me that the people and animal husbandry had been abolished for several years, but he still died of hunger. People everywhere. What role do you think they should be assigned to?"

Now most of the governors in various places have been arranged. Of course, the people in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan have not changed, but it is not necessary to send Gu Renyi to such a far place.

"The minister dares to speak out."

Zhu Houzhao: "Sir, please speak."

"I think I can give him the post of Zhanshi in Zhanshi Mansion."

Because the emperor did not have a prince, the post of Zhan Shi in Zhan Shi Mansion had always been vacant.Now it was suddenly mentioned, probably because Queen Xia's due date was approaching.

It's just right.

In fact, Zhan Shi's position in Zhan Shi's Mansion was very important. The purpose of assigning Gu Renyi to this position at this point in time was basically to train him to become a loyal minister of the next emperor.

Speaking of which, this popularity festival is indeed good, and the governor of Shuntian is also good. Zhu Houzhao has no objection.

The main reason is that it is not appropriate to bring Wang Shouren back as the leader at this time, and it is a pity for Wang Shouren that his lifespan is not long enough.

"...Zhan Shi's house is okay, but he has to be given another job, otherwise it won't work if he is left to read books every day."

"I wonder what position your Majesty wants to take on?"

Zhu Houzhao expressed an idea he had had for many days, "I want to send him as an envoy, and then select a certain number of young officials from the Six Ministries, the Shaofu and the Hanlin Academy to accompany Ping Haibo's caravan to visit overseas countries!"

As soon as these words came out, the three old men were all shocked. This was something they would never have imagined even if they had their heads smashed!
Yang Yiqing's expression changed, and he quickly asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to imitate Zheng He's seven voyages to the West?! But what happened back then was a waste of people and money..."

"Eh?" Zhu Houzhao immediately raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "The Three Treasures eunuchs have promoted the country's prestige overseas and are meritorious people. However, the reason why I want to send people as an envoy is not to find some rare treasures overseas. I don’t seek immortality either. I am here for the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty. Think about it, we go out one by one every year, but we only see merchants and no officials. Is there something missing?
I think the imperial court should come forward. Firstly, it is to establish contact with overseas countries, especially to establish stable trade relations with their kings, so that they understand that our interests are stable trade conditions; secondly, it is also for my merchants in the Ming Dynasty. Provide support and tell them that Ming merchants absolutely abide by the rules when doing business, so they must help protect our people from pirates and bandits. "

Of course, along the way, there must be some people who will not like to see the Ming Dynasty's envoys, so they will have an excuse to use force.

Moreover, the term "requiring stable trade conditions" has a wide range. For example, if the other party's political situation is unstable and our trade is unstable, it can also be said to be harmful to us.

It turns out that this is what those pirate nations used.

For another example, after a smooth transfer of power, trade is blocked due to the change of politicians. Does this count?

At the end, Zhu Houzhao sighed, "I have heard some things. Once businessmen go overseas and encounter local people bullying them, they will have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. After all, the people of their own country must still be the ones who protect their own country." , or just money, which sometimes makes it easy to be deceived.

After all, it is not easy to see the king or the head of the country, and one must have an official from the court.So, do you think this envoy should be sent?Should the people of Ming Dynasty protect them? "

In fact, Zhu Houzhao had other ideas.

The person who will assist the prince in the future, Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, should have a "global vision" and not be limited to the Central Plains.

After Gu Renyi, he will send out enterprising officials one after another in a planned and rhythmic manner to see how the sea trade is done. He cannot sit at home and make blind decisions with his eyes closed. Policy, if in the future we will only look at issues from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, and fail to see the trend of closer connections between countries in the Age of Discovery, we may not be able to close the country again.

However, this is just like when he was cleaning up the layout of the military camp ten years ago. If the situations he is considering now will happen, it will have to be many years later.
