Annan's information was sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty at the end of the 28th year of Hongwu.
The long distance is the disadvantage. Many things are difficult to come under the jurisdiction of the capital, and it takes two months to transmit information back and forth.
At this time, more reliable and loyal management talents are needed.
Many things can only be dealt with first.
After Zhu Ying saw what happened about Zhao Yuanhong, she felt a little sad.
When he first established the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Ying naturally followed the same tactics as in his previous life. He was really deceptive to people in today's world.
Some things, when persisted for a long time, will slowly turn into faith and persistence.
There will naturally be some existences similar to fanatical believers.
These people were the most loyal troops under Zhu Ying's command.
Most of them did not come to the capital to enjoy the blessings, but continued the business of the Chamber of Commerce.
On the surface, Zhu Ying's Qunying Chamber of Commerce has been completely disbanded. In fact, these secret personnel are still retained, and Zhu Ying has granted them greater power and more salary.
Zhao Yuanhong is also considered a leader.
This night.
Zhu Ying spent time in Chen Muyue's palace.
This is also what the old man meant. You can't be too indulged in wine and sex. No matter how iron-clad your body is, you can't bear it.
Going to several bedrooms in one night will definitely not work in the long run.
After the storm, Chen Muyue lay in Zhu Ying's arms.
She is very obsessed with this kind of taste now, and she feels that her mental state has been much better recently.
Zhu Ying helped Chen Muyue smooth her hair and said: "Over at Annan, the East Capital has been captured now. Hu Jiya can't run far, and the West Capital should be in the past few months."
"What are your thoughts on Annan after the war?"
Chen Muyue didn't expect that His Highness the Grand Sun would come to ask her about this, so she immediately said, "I will listen to His Highness's arrangements."
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Now in Annan, all the armies are under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. Those conquered places have also been replaced with chieftain nobles. The new nobles are extremely supportive of the Ming Dynasty."
"But Annan is too far away, and it is difficult for the capital to directly control it. Things like education cannot be done in a day or two."
"Give me a son, and I will crown him King Annan. From now on, the entire Annan region will be his overseas vassal territory."
Chen Muyue didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly.
This matter was just a thought in her mind before, but now Her Majesty the Grand Sun said it directly.
"Thank you for your favor, Your Highness... I don't know how to repay you."
Chen Muyue's tone was moved.
As a concubine from another country, it is really unimaginable to receive such favor.
Zhu Ying touched Chen Muyue's nose and said with a smile: "Speaking of repayment, this is also my son. Although he cannot inherit the Ming Dynasty, he certainly cannot be sent away."
After saying that, he picked up Chen Muyue, and as the bed curtain fell, he scored twice again.
.....
In this case, it's not just for Chen Muyue.
Including Zhao Xiangxi, Princess Xiangzi of the Japanese Kingdom, and Ananya who occupied the city, all expressed almost the same meaning.
In this world, blood connection is very important and the most stable relationship.
Even if you are not pregnant yet, you still need to start preparing.
Furthermore, preparing overseas vassal territories for his son can also avoid the situation of fratricide to a greater extent.
If there are really so many talented sons, they can also have goals for development, instead of staring at the fat of Ming Dynasty.
Thanks to Zhu Ying's hard work, all four concubines were pregnant by the end of the year.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
But at the same time, a problem also arose.
That means Zhu Ying has no place to sleep at night.
Ye Yueqing has just finished confinement. Because her second child has a difficult delivery, she naturally needs to rest and cannot have sex for the time being.
The four concubines became pregnant at about the same time, which resulted in Zhu Ying having to sleep alone at night.
What kind of words does this sound like?
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is here, can I still sleep alone?
This thing is nothing to ordinary people, but this is the royal palace.
Any issue related to His Highness the Grand Sun is a big issue, let alone a top priority like sleeping.
Zhongshan Prince's Mansion.
Regarding the issue of His Highness Taisun, Xu Zengshou, who was at court, soon received the news from the eunuch.
After returning home, he immediately shouted: "Little sister, little sister, your opportunity has come."
When Xu Yihua heard the shouting, she came out and scolded: "What are you calling for?"
Because Zhu Di left with his two sons, and Zhu Gaochi also went to the Japanese country, Xu Yihua has been living here in Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, which is more crowded and lively.
The current Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, went to other places to train troops and was not in the capital.
Of Xu Da's four sons, one died in battle and one died early. The remaining four sons, Xu Zengshou, were in the mansion, seeking official positions and going to court every day.
The elder sister's suppression of her younger brother comes from blood.
Hearing the eldest sister's scolding, Xu Zengshou shrank his head subconsciously, and then said with a flattering smile: "Sister, I'm not talking nonsense. I'm listening to the officials in the palace today."
"His Royal Highness Taisun's four concubines are all pregnant. His Majesty's intention is to select another concubine for His Highness Taisun."
"However, His Highness Taisun rejected His Majesty's proposal for a draft."
"Look, isn't this our little sister's chance?"
"This is His Highness the Grand Sun. If my little sister can marry His Highness the Grand Sun and become his concubine, our Xu family will not have to worry about long-term prosperity."
Having said this, Xu Zengshou looked at the inner courtyard and said: "Sister, you also know the situation of my little sister. Who would dare to marry her except His Highness the Grand Sun?"
Ever since the relationship between Zhu Ying and Xu Miaojin was revealed, all the people who originally proposed marriage have disappeared.
When you reach the age of leaving the cabinet, but no one comes to propose marriage, this is not a good thing.
Even the harem kept silent about this matter.
Even if Xu Mansion brought it up on his own initiative, others would avoid him.
Xu Yihua thought for a while and said: "Since His Highness Taisun has shied away from choosing a concubine, he must have his own ideas. I will go to the harem and ask Concubine Ning to see what she says."
Of course, Xu Yihua would not stop her from marrying His Highness the Grandson.
This can also bring the relationship between Xu Mansion and His Highness Taisun closer.
From afar, my husband, King Yan, may also need to relax more.
After the decision was made, Xu Yihua did not hesitate and immediately went out to enter the palace.
At this time, Xu Zengshou discovered a figure in the corner.
"who!"
Xu Zengshou scolded.
The figure in the corner came out, it was little girl Xu Miaojin.
"Oh, it's my little sister. Why are you hiding behind me? I heard everything the fourth brother said just now."
Xu Zengshou asked carelessly.
Xu Miaojin's face turned a little red. After all, this was related to her marriage.
"I heard it all."
Xu Zengshou immediately expressed his position: "Don't worry, little sister, I will keep it for you to sleep on His Highness the Grand Sun's bed."
When Xu Miaojin heard this, he immediately spat: "Ignore you, Fourth Brother."
Then he turned around and ran away.
Xu Zengshou laughed and said, "Young girl is so shy. Who doesn't want to sleep with His Highness? What's the point?"
"Speaking of which, if I were a woman, I would also think about it."
.....circumspectly
As the New Year approaches, the capital is quite lively.
Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang have also been out of the palace more diligently recently.
The city of Nanjing really looks the same every year. Zhu Ying has been coordinating the whole city and carrying out reforms, but naturally there is no need to manage the following affairs personally.
"Your Highness, this is about the renovation of the palace. Please take a look at it."
Eunuch Guo Zhong sent Zhu Ying a plan on Feng Shui reform for review.
Zhu Ying asked: "Grandpa has already seen it."
Guo Zhong replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, Your Majesty has already reviewed it once."
Zhu Ying nodded and began to read the narrative here.
Just looking at it, my brows were already wrinkled.
Nanjing has both mountains and rivers, all kinds of valuable utensils, the mountains are arranged in an orderly manner, and the Mingtang is spacious and well-organized. In addition, the land connects the three Chu states, controls the three rivers, is surrounded by mountains, and is surrounded by the Yangtze River. In particular, Zhongfu has the image of a dragon and a pan, and Shicheng has a
The shape of the tiger crouching adds a bit of majesty to the gentle Nanjing, and it should be the most noble place.
While Nanjing has access to the natural water of the Yangtze River, the Ningzhen Mountains stretching westward, the main dragon veins of Nanjing City are not thick enough, and they lack the ferocious, towering sun and moon, the Huabiao, the defending gate, the Tianguan Earth Axis, the flags and drums, etc.
An important element of the journey to the imperial capital.
The dragons, pans, and tigers crouching in the city are meant to gain access to the mountains, but they are lying scattered and scattered. They have their own shape but lack their strength, and there is no remaining energy to be found.
Lailong lacks the noble Dragon Tower and Phoenix Pavilion, and the royal city lacks tall and strong guards.
In such a city, even if it is equipped with dragons, tigers, lions and elephants, and there are thousands of auspicious things, it will not have enough confidence as the center of the country to command the world.
Zhongshan and the Yangtze River are two important factors in Nanjing’s Feng Shui, and they strongly drive Nanjing’s progress.
The conclusion given by the Feng Shui masters here is: the wall Qi is often vented.
The Qinhuai River passing through the city leaked Nanjing's royal aura, destroyed Nanjing's feng shui, and created a situation where "water breaks the heart of the sky".
At this point, it is difficult to recover.
The current policy can only be to improve the structure of the palace power, that is, that is all.
"It seems that we can only follow the trajectory of history."
From the Ming Dynasty, the second generation, starting from Zhu Di, had already moved the capital to Peking, and then there was the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years.
The capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also in Peiping, which was the Qing Dynasty for three hundred years.
Later generations will naturally be in Peiping.
From all aspects, Peking is more suitable as the capital of the Ming Dynasty in terms of national destiny.
Of course, this does not mean that everything will be safe if the capital is in Peiping. The demise of the Ming Dynasty and the demise of the Qing Dynasty show that the final key lies in governance and reform.
But I have to admit that the capital is also an important factor.
After thinking about it clearly, Zhu Ying naturally had a plan in mind.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not know some of the funeral affairs like Zhu Ying.
Now Nanjing's Feng Shui pattern obviously cannot be used as a long-term capital, so the matter of moving the capital is more important.
Chang'an has been abandoned due to severe soil erosion.
The only place that can be relatively certain seems to be Peking, where the capital of the Yuan Dynasty was once located.
After some discussion, the grandfather and grandson decided on the capital Peiping.
Years later, repairs were carried out to repair the waterlogging problem in the Nanjing Imperial Palace.
With the current financial resources of the Ming Dynasty and the treasury being full, it can naturally invest more manpower and material resources in the new capital.
When the Feng Shui Conference ended, it was naturally impossible for Zhu Ying to say that she would attend.
At best, it can be regarded as a civil society, guided by Qin Tianjian.
It seems huge, but in fact it can only be regarded as a small circle.
There are not many Feng Shui masters, and not many of them are literate these days, let alone have profound Feng Shui knowledge.
Zhu Ying took advantage of this opportunity and handed over the matter of rearrangement of the Peking Palace to Qin Tianjian.
On this day, Zhu Ying, who had nothing to do in the palace, went to the capital to look around.
Obviously, there are too many people in Nanjing now, and there is a feeling of crowding everywhere.
Especially in the outer city, it can be said to be crowded.
In this situation, there was a queue at any hotel or restaurant.
It is not easy for outsiders to come to the capital and have a meal.
Some unlucky ones were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs from morning to afternoon without even having a single bite of hot rice.
Not to mention the inns, they are full almost every day.
It doesn't matter, I might not even be able to get a room.
Some chambers of commerce stationed in the capital simply rented inn rooms for long-term use because of the need to travel back and forth for business.
"Sir, there are too many people here. Let's not go to the shop."
Song Zhong, who followed, said helplessly next to Zhu Ying.
The situation in the street has reached the point where people are crowded. If the street cannot be blocked without revealing the identity, then some passers-by are likely to touch the body of His Highness Taisun.
This is a huge sin.
Zhu Ying looked forward and looked at the dense crowd, and finally said helplessly: "Let's go to Xuanwu Lake. It's also good to go for a walk there."
There are many workers going back and forth in the workshop, and all kinds of smells are coming to your nose. Going in is not a good choice.
The Xuanwu Lake side is not open to ordinary people, but it is much quieter.
This also made Zhu Ying understand that the development of Peiping could no longer be delayed.
Soon we arrived at Xuanwu Lake.
Xuanwu Lake is more lively than before, and young ladies from various families basically spend their spring outings here.
Zhu Ying did not let Song Zhong follow.
As the envoy of Jinyiwei Town, Song Zhong was well-known and knew many people.
With this guy around, even a fool can guess who he is.
Song Zhong was not worried about what His Highness Taisun would do here alone.
In terms of personal force, Song Zhong knew very well that he was no match for His Highness Taisun.
So I waited calmly at the door.
Zhu Ying also wandered around alone.
He still doesn't know that Xuanwu Lake has become a famous matchmaking corner among the officials of the Ming Dynasty due to some special relationships.
You can see many official women traveling here.
There are also many students, Master, here.
"Sir... Mr. Zhu."
Not long after Zhu Ying took a walk, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
