Zhu Zhanzhen's butt was damaged and he lay in bed for three days. Hu Shanggong's medicine did have a miraculous effect, maybe because of his good technique. Zhu Zhanzhen fell off the ground in two days. Although he couldn't run yet, he could still walk two steps without any problems.
No problem.
As soon as I got off the ground, I went to the East Palace to find Fat Dad.
Fat dad was looking sad at this time, Yao Guangxiao was following him.
"Father, Master."
Seeing Zhu Zhanzhen coming, Zhu Gaochi first asked: "Can you go to the ground?"
"It's okay, Father."
"Let's see if you dare next time."
Yao Guangxiao opened his mouth to lighten the atmosphere: "Your Highness, please don't act like this next time. There are many memorials to impeach you for making arbitrary opinions these days."
Grandma, someone is targeting me.
Zhu Zhanyi could see it, and Zhu Gaochi could naturally see it, and there was a big victory here. These memorials could be fooled. If the battle was defeated this time, Zhu Zhanyi would definitely bear the main responsibility.
"Master, please let all the eunuchs and maids in our courtyard come back." The maids and eunuchs who were sent to the temple have not returned yet.
"I almost forgot, they are now allowed to eat and pray in the temple, but the maid in your small kitchen cooks so good vegetarian dishes that I can't bear to let her go back, hahaha." Yao Guangxiao held his beard and laughed.
The relationship between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanzhen became more relaxed.
"Why are you looking for me today?" Zhu Gaochi asked.
"Father, the New Year is approaching. Two days ago, Hu Shanggong adjusted the list. Father, please take a look."
He handed the calibrated banquet list to Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi looked around and put it down.
"Let's discuss this small matter later. The matter of Zhoushan Island is still under pressure now. It has been sent to Northern Xinjiang for Your Majesty. I think the time will come soon."
Zhu Gaochi's mouth felt as if it had been opened. At this moment, the eunuch walked quickly: "Your Highness, Shuntian Mansion has an urgent secret message for eight hundred miles."
"Speaking of truth to Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived."
Zhu Gaochi opened the secret letter and after reading it, asked the eunuch to hand it to Zhu Zhanchang.
"The Zhoushan Guards was rebuilt, Chen Xuan supervised the construction of the Ming Dynasty Navy, and the female family members of Zhoushan military families bravely resisted the pirates, leaving Chen Baiyue and others in disgrace."
The main content of the secret letter is that there is still no mention of the establishment of a sea ban. Zhu Di is now in Shuntian Mansion. The establishment of a sea ban is a big deal and cannot be started lightly. However, it can be seen from the secret letter that the information about the reconstruction of Zhoushan Guards Station and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Navy can be seen.
, Zhu Di intended to impose a sea ban.
After reading it, Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Zhan Ming, the newspaper writes about Zhoushan Island. As for the supplies of Zhoushan Guard Station, let's not mention it for the time being. Once it is written, give it to me to read and let Li Shimian write it.
.”
"Yes." Zhu Zhanzhen understood. What Zhu Gaochi meant was to write down all the evil deeds done by pirates such as Chen Baiyue and Yamamoto Sixty-two. The story of the desperate female family members of military families on Zhoushan Island also had to be written down. It was just the Ming Dynasty.
We cannot talk about shrinking coastal defense.
This will be a story about an upright military household on Zhoushan Island and their female relatives fighting to the death against the traitors and foreign enemies.
"Your Majesty wants to rebuild the Zhoushan Guards Station and increase the number of troops to 3,000. What do you think?"
Just as Zhu Zhanzhen was about to speak, Zhu Gaochi stopped him: "There is no need to mention opening up trade."
Zhu Zhanchen scratched his head. This was prejudging me, but he also knew that this matter could not be rushed. He smiled and said: "Father, I have a candidate to recommend to you."
"who?"
"Chen Youshan, Magistrate of Xiangshan County."
Zhu Gaochi frowned: "I know this man. In the Xiangshan Guards report on this matter, he commanded the Xiangshan Guards to fight with Zheng He. I was going to reward him, but I just asked the Ningbo Prefecture about this person's reputation. , it is said that he has a close relationship with a prominent local family.”
"Father, my son has seen him with his own eyes. You have heard about him from other people's mouths. My son thinks that he is a man of affairs. There are very few scholars like him who can command two guards to jointly fight with Zheng He's troops. To rebuild the garrison on Zhoushan Island, we need someone who can adapt to changes and lead troops in battle."
Zhu Gaochi rubbed his temples habitually. His head always hurts slightly this year.
"But if such a person has other thoughts like Chen Baiyue, I'm afraid it will be much more difficult to deal with than Chen Baiyue."
Can he hug the emperor's grandson's lap and rise up in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, but can he also let Chen Youshan become a pirate? He is a smart man who wants fame and fortune.
"Father, I think he can be trusted."
Faced with Zhu Zhanzhen's determination, Zhu Gaochi was a little surprised. Yao Guangxiao interjected: "Your Highness, Chen Youshan is doing well in Xiangshan Island. It is not incomprehensible that he has no foundation and has a good relationship with aristocratic families. , Zheng He also spoke highly of him during this naval battle, and if His Highness the Fifth and Zheng He spoke so highly of him, he must be a promising talent."
Zhu Gaochi nodded, but the monk still knew how to speak.
"Then first, a total of two military households from the Xiangshan Guard Station and Hangzhou Prefecture will be transferred to Zhoushan Island to rebuild the coastal defense. Chen Youshan will be appointed as the magistrate of Zhoushan County."
Zhoushan established a county and established an army. I believe it goes without saying that Chen Youshan also understood this meaning.
At least the coastal defense policy is going to be expanded, and maritime trade is expected to take some time, so it doesn't matter that it will eventually reach this point.
After talking about these things, Zhu Gaochi reprimanded Zhu Zhanchen again for acting wantonly, making decisions without authorization, etc.
Adhering to the principle of what goes in through the left ear and out through the right ear, Zhu Zhanchen pretended to hear nothing.
After being scolded, Zhu Zhanzhen walked out of the study, and Yao Guangxiao followed him.
The emperor's grandson and the monk walked in the cold wind.
"Your Highness, all the maids and eunuchs in your courtyard will be sent back later."
"Thank you, Master."
"What do you think of this incident, Your Highness?"
"My Ming Dynasty's warships can carry Ming Dynasty to dominate the sea, and it can go east or west."
Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness will be crowned County King in the next year. What do you think of the title of Pearl River County King?"
"Master, is there news?"
"Before His Majesty entered the study, His Majesty the Crown Prince was discussing the matter with the poor monk. Your Majesty agreed. I have been thinking about it for a long time."
Zhu Zhanzhen chuckled: "Prince of Zhujiang County, I like this name."
"Your Highness, the transportation in Lingnan is not as convenient as in the Central Plains. If Your Highness goes there and becomes a feudal lord, it will be difficult to come back even once because the sky is high and the road is far away."
"With developed waterways, once shipping opens, it will be more convenient to come back."
"Your Highness is thinking long term."
…
In the afternoon, the palace maids and eunuchs in the small courtyard were finally released. As soon as they entered the door, Chu'er took Sang Yu's hand and said, "Sister Sang Yu, you have been suffering recently."
Sang Yu said with a smile: "Master Yao Guangxiao treats us very well. Although he talks about Buddhist scriptures and recites Buddhist scriptures every day, he is never punished."
"The master said that the vegetables you cook are delicious, but I didn't expect that you are also good at vegetarian dishes."
Sang Yu covered her mouth and smiled: "The dish is vegetarian, I use meat oil."
Zhu Zhanzhen smiled slightly and said: "Sang Yu went to get some abalone and sea cucumbers and a big jar. I want to cook a new abalone recipe for the New Year."
