I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Seeing Zhang Yan pulling so hard, Zhu Youxiao let her "pull" himself up, sat on the couch, rolled his eyes, and said "Ouch" again, and shouted:

"I was so hurt by this kick, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my face!"

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Zhang Yan didn't know if it was true or not, she just felt that she had kicked Emperor Tianqi, she was sweating finely on her forehead, and turned around anxiously.

"Quick, call the imperial physician!"

Mrs. Xu could see clearly from the outside that the emperor was teasing our empress, and when she heard the words, she just let out a "hey" and didn't really call the imperial doctor.

At this time, even if the imperial doctor arrived, he would not dare to enter.

Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Yan, put it on his chest, and said with a smile, "This is what hurts me, my queen, who actually stretched out her foot to kick me..."

"The concubine didn't know it was His Majesty who came, but suddenly His Majesty came from behind..." Zhang Yan was still a little aggrieved, and when she said this, she suddenly realized something, and her face turned red as if bleeding could drip.

"How to do?"

"Then... the concubine rubs it for His Majesty?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded in satisfaction, leaning on the couch, enjoying Zhang Yan's little hands.

At this time, a row of maids with horn lamps led a dragon and phoenix golden scorpion to stop outside Kunning Palace, but it was Concubine Yu Tong Jing'er who came.

On weekdays, she and Zhang Yan have the best relationship, and they often stay together when they are free, chatting all over the world to relieve boredom.

The maids seemed to have discovered something, pointing at the Kunning Palace one by one, covering their mouths and laughing, and some laughed and joked at the female official Xu.

Tong Jing'er frowned at first when she heard the commotion, but when she poked her head out and glanced this way, her eyebrows and eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons, and said:

"The empress is busy, let's go back!"

"Back, back~"

The court ladies frolicked and went back the same way with the lamps on their horns.

This scene was also seen by Zhang Yan who was rubbing Zhu Youxiao's chest in Kunning Palace, and she was so ashamed that she hid in Zhu Youxiao's arms and refused to come out.

As in the past, the Kunning Palace was full of spring.

In the early morning of the next day, the Forbidden City was still shrouded in darkness, but there was a faint light of dawn in the darkness.

Zhu Youxiao was still sleeping soundly, but he was woken up sharply by Zhang Yan, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court. Today is the day of the restoration of the court. The officials have long been waiting outside the Palace of the Emperor."

"Return?"

Zhu Youxiao was sleeping soundly, how could he get up?

Lying on the fragrant soft pillow, he planned to stay in bed, waved his hand and said: "Pass the decree, give it to me again, and I will sleep for a while!"

Zhang Yan glanced outside the palace and winked at Mrs. Xu, but this time she suddenly stiffened.

She forcibly helped Zhu Youxiao up from the bed, fetched water to wash, and persuaded while serving and dressing:

"Your Majesty, stop making trouble. The Ming Dynasty has not had a regular court for four years. In the past few days, the news has already spread in Beijing and abroad, and everyone is praising His Majesty's sage. If it is just another decree, what will His Majesty do?"

Zhu Youxiao is just such a petty temper, if he wants to say nothing about Chang Chao, he dare not at all.

There is no way, being an emperor is painful and joyful.

Zhu Youxiao gradually came to his senses, looking at Zhang Yan who was taking good care of him with his head down, his heart warmed, and he said, "With such a good wife, what more can a husband ask for..."

Zhang Yan shuddered, pretending she didn't hear it, and was busy with herself.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and go to court, there are concubines in the harem." Zhang Yan sent Zhu Youxiao to the door, and then pushed him out.

Zhu Youxiao laughed, and said to the eunuch outside:

"Go, go up to court!"

The regular court that I have recovered by myself, no matter how sleepy I am, I will finish it!

……

Outside the Huangji Hall, the ministers of various ministries had already finished their shifts outside, waiting for the Emperor Tianqi to come to court.

Many people said that it was like a dream, that once the apocalypse came, they would actually be able to go to court again. Talking about this, some people even cried bitterly.

However, as the time for the court came closer, the harem remained peaceful, and the officials became more and more uneasy, for fear that the return to court would be a joke.

Seeing the deadline approaching, officials began to whisper.

At this time, a man from Du came trotting over, followed by a row of captains in Jinyi and the big Han generals, and the officials were relieved.

In the sky, the morning sun rose, and as the first ray of sunlight entered the Hall of the Emperor, the officials also entered in two shifts in an orderly manner.

"Your Majesty, I will see you, long live long live—!"

Ascending to the Huangji Hall, Zhu Youxiao looked at the completely new Manchu civil and military, sat on the dragon chair, waved and said: "Everyone is flat!"

After the words fell, the officials thanked them, and they were in the second class.

Even surrounded by civil and military officials and many internal servants, the Great Hall of the Emperor still seemed empty. Zhu Youxiao didn't even need to speak loudly, and the words he spoke could be clearly transmitted to every corner.

Zhu Youxiao felt very relieved when he saw the court team he had built little by little over the years, and felt that all this was worth it for a while.

It's been almost five years, and the Ming court is finally looking a little more decent.

"Today is the first day of the restoration of the dynasty. Of course, I also have good news to tell all the ministers. Zhang Wanbang won the Great Harmony and beheaded [-] people. This is one of them."

"The second thing is that the Tumote troops outside the customs have suffered heavy losses here and are unable to continue to invade the south!"

"What does this mean? This means that we can counterattack. This time, we must beat and subdue the tribes in Monan! Let them never dare to commit crimes in the south!"

Chapter 469 I'm Not Here

Zhu Youxiao made it very clear that since they had the guts to commit crimes in the south, Daming can't be soft-hearted and must fight back!

What we have to do today is to come up with a charter on how to fight.

Zhu Youxiao cheered up, looked around at the ministers, and said with a smile: "Masters, since they are all back in court, don't hide them all. If you have anything to say, you can mention it!"

"Your Majesty, we have just returned to the court today, so we are discussing this important matter. What's more, we just finished the battle of Liaodong last year, and if we start the war again, I'm afraid it will be a burden to the people of the world."

Just after saying this, a censor stood up.

What the censor said caused three or five of the courtiers to nod repeatedly. Although they didn't agree with each other, they expressed their position below.

There were also people who looked at the top worriedly. On the first day of returning to the court, it was so contrary to the holy will. This censor surnamed Ma was too courageous.

Everyone can see that Emperor Tianqi is full of determination and excitement is written on his face!

The news of Datong's great victory made the emperor extremely happy for a few days in a row. If he objected at this time, he would be asking for trouble.

Asking everyone what they mean is just going through the motions. If anyone really dares to stand up and make a statement and say something against it, he is really stupid.

Sure enough, Zhu Youxiao's face quickly darkened visible to the naked eye, and when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting to watch a good show and kept quiet, they suddenly changed into a smile and said:

"Ma Yushi is concerned about the country and the people, and what he said is not unreasonable. I just ask you, do you know how the people in various places are living now?"

The censor surnamed Ma also thought that he was going to finish the game, and was regretting it. He was also taken aback when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "I don't know, please let your majesty make it clear."

"Since I don't know, where is the burden?"

Zhu Youxiao laughed a few times, beckoned the censor to return to work, sat on it and said:

"There are quite a few of you who have this idea, right? I know that you all have the same idea as Ma Yushi. Years of wars will indeed increase the burden on the people."

"But right now, the imperial court doesn't have any excessive taxes!"

"After the establishment of the Nanjing Counselor's Institute of Mechanical Affairs, Wang made a memorial in Jin a few days ago, which made me even clear about the taxation situation of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. All parts of the south of the Yangtze River are richer than you imagined."

Zhu Youxiao said this halfway, but he didn't say it clearly to the court.

It can be said that there are no fundamentally good people who can stand here today. Everyone has their own abacus, so how can they not hear the meaning behind the emperor's words.

It is true that the south of the Yangtze River is rich, but it does not hide wealth from the people. The rich are businessmen and gentry.Of course, compared with the Central Plains, the lives of the people in Jiangnan can indeed be called petty bourgeoisie.

Now in the Central Plains area, although there are disasters from time to time, the government is well prepared. Even if there are catastrophes such as earthquakes in five provinces, due to the good scheduling of the imperial court, there is no major damage.

Having said that, many people understand that the Ming Dynasty has enough background, and in addition to the fact that the finances have improved in recent years, there is no harm in fighting another battle.

But the Western captives are different. They are poor and trapped, and they can barely survive by invading and looting from the south.

If you don't take this opportunity to fight back, there will be such a disaster in the coming year.

"What do you think now, should you call back?" Zhu Youxiao waited for a while to discuss, then smiled slightly, and asked again.

This time, Chaoshang was full of praise.

"It is indeed time to call back!"

"Your Majesty, this is an inexhaustible feat of opening up territories!"

All the ministers spoke out one after another, and even Ma Yushi, who had just opposed it, was now raising his arms and shouting that he wanted to get out of the pass.

"Zhang Weixian, tell me what you think." Zhu Youxiao cast his eyes on the honorable side, and the leader was the British prince Zhang Weixian.

Zhang Weixian was forced to enter the military computer room, and when he entered, he only put his name in it. In fact, all important matters were all decided by the emperor.

The significance of the establishment of the military computer room is to curb the imperial power and check and balance the cabinet.

It doesn't matter how many or who are the courtiers inside. The important thing is that the office of the military machine room is located in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, which is only a corridor away from the place where the emperor reviewed the memorials.

"I think that this battle should be fought, but it shouldn't be us who send troops."

Zhang Weixian's words were astonishing.

"The area around Guihua City and Chi'er Mountain is full of barren grass and plains. Now that Xitu Mote is in decline, it is easy to take down, but how do we defend it?"

Zhu Youxiao felt the same way, that area was beyond the border wall, although after years of development, there were many towns and cities, but after all, there was no danger to defend.

It is easy to fight down, but it is very difficult to defend. Not only do you need to garrison people to guard the border, but you also need to use a large number of troops to garrison. Once you are surrounded, whether to rescue or not is another problem.

This is actually the same problem as abandoning Annan's proposal. If you want to, it will be hard to defend, and the land in that area is barren. Except for a large territory, the income and expenditure are completely out of proportion.

Just give up, but it's too pity, after all, it's an opportunity to expand the territory.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, motioning for him to continue.

At this time, the courtiers were talking a lot, and most of them nodded thoughtfully.

"The three guards in northern Saibei have surrendered to Daming. Your Majesty can send a decree to each of the kings of the three guards, ordering their subordinates to attack Guihua City and capture Chi'er Mountain."

"As for the purpose of sending troops, it's even simpler. Nalindanbatur is conceited and stubborn. He thinks he is the Khan, so he changed his religion so easily, so that people's hearts were scattered!"

"Last time, the Ming Dynasty promised the tribes in Monan and the left-wing tribes to change their sects. This time, we can promise the Chi'er Mountain and Guihua City area to the tribes as religious centers."

"Give them places in Guihua City and Chi'er Mountain, allow them to live in herds, and move to border towns, so that they can win the hearts of the Mongols and make them work for me."

"If things go on like this, Lin Danbatur will be regarded as a loner, and all the tribes in the grassland will know that His Majesty is the Lord of Destiny, the King of Sage!"

Zhang Weixian said so much in one breath, it can be seen that he had already thought about it.

If you don't ask, you don't know, but when you ask, you are startled, and then Zhu Youxiao knows that the British Duke who is silent and honest by his side is actually a very knowledgeable and knowledgeable person.

This kind of thinking coincides with Zhu Youxiao's, and in some places he is even more thoughtful.

Zhu Youxiao laughed a few times and said:

"This statement makes sense!"

"Lindan Batur returned to his expedition, lost troops and generals, and kidnapped more than [-] of my frontier people. I will settle these accounts with him one by one!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly said seriously:

"Send an order to the three guards in Saibei to let them lead their tribes to attack Tumed! It is said that I intend to support the Yellow Sect as the main sect of Mongolia, and make Guihua City the religious center and Chi'er Mountain the trade center."

"All the Minan tribes and left-wing tribes who have surrendered to Ming Dynasty have a place in Guihua City and Chi'er Mountain. Let their leaders come to Beijing to meet them in person and give their son a pledge before discussing it!"

"Without this sincerity, don't think about getting a share of the action!"

Now that the words have come to this point, naturally all the ministers will not have any objections, and shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied, nodded and said: "Is there anything else to play, take advantage of today's court meeting, let's play it to me together!"

At the end of the speech, Ni Yuanlu, a household doctor, came out and said:

"Qizou Your Majesty, since the signing of the trade agreement with Frangji last year, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce has been established in Suzhou, and more than ten local chambers of commerce have joined, including Suzhou Huanghuatang, Hangzhou Hongliangwen, Denglai Song Bingshi, and Datong Zeng Liangyu."

"Song Bingshi of the Denglai Chamber of Commerce wrote a letter to the Ministry of Households the day before yesterday, talking about the disadvantages of selling private salt today, and asking the court to make private salt official."

After saying this, Ni Yuanlu presented the memorial, bowed and said:
