Chapter 413 Return to Beijing
Zhu Yijun saw many people along the way, and when he looked at their smiling faces, Zhu Yijun was relieved. Twenty years of hard work have finally come true today.
"Emperor, good news from North Korea!" Zhang Jing came to Zhu Yijun's imperial chariot and spoke.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Tell me!"
"The army has captured Seoul. In this battle, the Japanese pirates who have entered Korea were wiped out, and 67,236 people were beheaded, and 14,328 were captured."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "I played well!"
"Emperor, this is the resignation of Lord Qi Jiguang and Qi!" Zhang Jing said as he presented another memorial to Zhu Yijun.
After taking the memorial, Zhu Yijun sighed bitterly. The contents of the memorial were very simple. The environment in North Korea was harsh and Qi Jiguang's old injury relapsed. He needed to return to Beijing for medical treatment.
Zhu Yijun knew that it was Qi Jiguang who was avoiding suspicion and wanted to push forward the credit for destroying Japan.
As he reached out to knock on the memorial, Zhu Yijun's expression was very serious. He needed someone to preside over the war against the Japanese pirates, and it was impossible for Qi Jin and Li Rusong and others to fight.
This person must have prestige and also understand military affairs. Of course, the most important thing is that this person must be able to govern and be wise.
Because this person was the candidate for the governor of Japan selected by Zhu Yijun.
Once the country was destroyed, Zhu Yijun would appoint the governor of Japan. Qi Jiguang was not good at this position, he had to be young and strong. At that age, Zhu Yijun could not throw him into Japan.
Zhang Weixian is suitable, but he is the successor of the Military Affairs Office arranged by Zhu Yijun.
Once Qi Jiguang falls, Zhang Weixian will take over and cannot be put in Japan. The old nobles still need someone to lead the way, so Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, cannot do it.
Zhu Yijun thought for a long time: "Why send a civil servant!"
After this idea came into being, it didn't stop. Since one person was not suitable, we would send two people. Civil officials were in charge and military generals led their troops. Anyway, the Japanese were stationed in the Ming Dynasty.
After pondering for a while, Zhu Yijun felt that this idea was feasible.
But who should I choose? This person needs to know military affairs, especially political skills, but there are still many such civil servants in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yijun thought about it for a moment, and it really reminded him of someone.
This person is Zhao Lian.
Zhu Yijun has a deep impression of Zhao Lian. He was the one who investigated the opium case in Nanjing. Although he also sucked opium, he should have survived it with perseverance.
A person who is absolutely a first-class person who is cruel to himself and even more cruel to others. Since the civil and military affairs are broken up, let Zhao Lian go!
Since the Opium case, Zhao Lian has been valued by Zhu Yijun and has now been in the position of governor. It is also possible to advance to the governor, although this governor is in Japan.
Another very important reason for choosing Zhao Lian is that he is young and in good health.
The governor sent to Japan must be in good health. If he dies in Japan, he will lose his talents in vain. Zhu Yijun will not do such a thing, so the rest of the matter will be simple.
"Transfer an order to Qi Jiguang to return to Beijing to recuperate, and the war in Japan will be handed over to Zhang Weixian."
Zhu Yijun handed the memorial to Zhang Jing, and then spoke, "Summon Zhao Lian to Beijing, and Zhao Lian's successor will be drafted by the cabinet." After that, Zhu Yijun stopped talking.
Without saying a word all the way, Zhu Yijun returned to the capital smoothly.
When he entered the palace, Empress Wang led Zhu Yijun's concubines to greet him. After some comfort, Zhu Yijun rushed to Cining Palace to find his mother, Empress Dowager Li. Since Empress Dowager Li was not in charge of the matter, the relationship between the mother and son has eased a lot.
In recent years, Empress Dowager Li ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name every day, and she didn't care about the affairs in the palace, but she was still pure.
Except for the marriage of Lu Wang Zhu Yili, there is no trouble for Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun's sisters have also gotten married, and the marriage is basically handled by Empress Dowager Li.
Because of the ban on vassals, the court no longer prohibits honorary relatives from being officials, so the princess will naturally find a son-in-law.
The princesses married all the new Jinshi, and their character is quite good. Zhu Yijun specially asked the Office of the Internal Affairs Office to touch it. If the Office of the Internal Affairs Office has touched it, it is basically no problem.
Although he is a bit pedantic, his character is still reliable.
After entering Cining Palace, Zhu Yijun looked at Empress Dowager Li and said with a smile: "Mom!"
Since Empress Dowager Li ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name, she has become more kind in recent years. The Ming Dynasty is booming. Her eldest son is doing well, and her second son has not been a vassal. She often goes to the palace to accompany her. The old lady is very satisfied.
In addition, Zhu Yijun has a lot of children, Queen Wang often comes here, and Empress Li is also enjoying the joy of family.
Seeing Zhu Yijun, Empress Dowager Li smiled and pulled him by her side, saying a little angrily: "This time I ran out for so long, and I really ran away from the wild. There are people saying that my parents are not traveling far away. You haven't come back for so long, so I'll be thinking about it."
Zhu Yijun quickly apologized with a smile: "My son is unfilial, which makes her worry."
Queen Mother Li smiled and said, "Although this palace is big, it is also a trapped place. I haven't been out since I was a child. No wonder you don't want to come back when you go out."
"If my mother wants to leave the palace, she will give her instructions."
"My son asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate money. There are many large temples in the west of the Beijing area, and the mother can go out for a walk often." Zhu Yijun said to Empress Dowager Li with a smile. Now that the inner treasury is rich, Zhu Yijun doesn't care much about these things.
"Your Xiaoxin Mother knows!" Empress Dowager Li said with a smile.
Zhu Yijun chatted with Empress Dowager Li for an afternoon of homework, and the supper was also used in Cining Palace. After dinner, Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "Go! After leaving for so long, they are all looking forward to it!"
Zhu Yijun was not pretentious either. After leaving Cining Palace, Zhu Yijun went straight to Kunning Palace.
On the first day of his return, Zhu Yijun naturally had to go to Queen Wang's place. If he didn't go to Queen Wang's place, the harem would naturally become unstable. If something happened to the harem, the trouble would be great.
When Zhu Yijun came to Cining Palace, Queen Wang didn't sleep, and was waiting for him!
After seeing Zhu Yijun, Queen Wang smiled and saluted Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun hurriedly went up to help Queen Wang up. He took Queen Wang's hand and sat on the edge of the bed. Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "The Queen has been reduced!"
As the saying goes, a small separation is better than a newlywed. Zhu Yijun left for half a year, so Empress Wang naturally missed her too.
He was pulled by Zhu Yijun and looked at Empress Wang's face flushed. When she heard Zhu Yijun's words, Empress Wang replied: "It's better to reduce it a little, but the Imperial Hospital said that it's not good to be too fat."
