His Majesty the Emperor is already in his early twenties this year, and is already married and has children.
What's more important is that the Imperial Army was already in his hands.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Internal Security of the Inner Court.
The Zhongshu Province of the outer court and the administrative officials of the six ministries were basically promoted during his reign.
Although he did not personally manage the government in the first six years of his reign and was just a mascot, three and a half years have passed since the sixth year of Hongde's reign. In these three and a half years, Zhongshu Province alone has
The prime ministers changed twice.
Veteran officials from other yamen also withdrew from the court stage one after another.
For example, Zhao Changping, the Minister of Household Affairs, filled the vacancy left by the old Minister Liu Jizhang when he became an official.
In the past three and a half years, under the emperor's intentional or unintentional operation, the top management of the imperial court has almost completed a round of replacement.
In other words, the transition from emperor to court has basically been completed.
The current position of His Majesty the Emperor is very stable.
Let's put it this way.
It takes cronies to have cronies, and political achievements to have political achievements. Shen Yi and others spent almost two years driving the coastal Japanese pirates out of the land. This was a great political achievement.
For the emperor, the only stain was that during the conflict between Hongde and Qi people for more than half a year in the seventh year of Hongde, he suffered a moderate loss. However, this loss was polished by the clever pen of Di Baosi
, the external publicity was that it was a tie, and it did not affect the reputation of His Majesty the Emperor.
That is to say…
His Majesty the Emperor's current position is very stable.
In the sixth year of Hongde and the seventh year of Hongde, Empress Dowager Sun might have united with several Zhongshu prime ministers to depose him as emperor...
But now, it's been Hongde's ninth year.
Now, the only thing that can restrain His Majesty the Emperor is morality, and nothing else.
Although it is said that the Holy Emperor rules the world with filial piety, this sentence is a slogan after all, and the emperor is the only supreme one in the court.
Ninety-five supreme.
After listening to Shen Yi's words, His Majesty the Emperor silently sat back to his original position.
He was silent for a long time, then slowly closed his eyes and said, "Shen Qi, by saying this, you are trying to provoke the blood relatives of the Tian family. Do you know that?"
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I am not trying to stir up trouble among the Tian family. What I mean is that Your Majesty is the supreme being in the world and the only sun in the sky..."
"Shit."
The emperor opened his eyes, glanced at Shen Yi, and said coldly: "Is that emperor in the north the sun?"
Mr. Shen smiled coquettishly.
You flatter me and forget that there is an emperor in the north.
"Your Majesty is Da Chen, the only sun."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "One day, he will be the only sun in the world."
The emperor sighed silently: "When I first heard this, I felt very excited, but now that I hear it again, I realize how difficult it is."
The emperor walked down the imperial steps with his hands behind his back and came to Shen Yi's side. Then he reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder and said, "Shen Qing...is there anyone you are particularly afraid of?"
"For example, your father?"
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, my father has been in Jiankang in his early years. I and my younger brother are in my hometown in Jiangdu, and we only see each other once or twice a year. I can't say I'm afraid."
"I…"
After the emperor said this word, he hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Well, there is no one around here, and you and I are of the same age. I will tell you what is on my mind."
The emperor found a chair and sat down by himself, and then said a little discouraged: "My father died when I was young. When I ascended the throne, I was only ten years old."
"At that time, everything inside and outside the imperial court was supported by several husband-in-laws from Zhongshu Province and the queen mother."
"For six whole years."
The emperor lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "In the past six years, things have not been very peaceful inside and outside the imperial court. There are people from Qi outside who are watching with eager eyes, and there is also Uncle Jin Wang who is in his prime inside..."
In the early years after the emperor came to the throne, there was indeed a feeling of trepidation, but he was very lucky and survived without any danger. Because of this, His Majesty the Emperor, who was quite nostalgic for his old feelings, kept Yang Jingzong and Yang Xiang untouched.
.
You know, after Old Man Yang retired, officials at all levels reviewed his memorials, as well as things that the internal guards uncovered overtly and covertly, piling up like a mountain.
The emperor said with some frustration: "During those six years, my mother was extremely strict with me, so that even now..."
At this point, the emperor stopped talking.
Shen Yi felt a little helpless, but he still coughed and said: "In that case, let the Queen Mother go to see Gu... To see the concubine, Your Majesty, please say hello to the Taiyuan Hospital and tell them not to say anything they shouldn't.
if…"

"If this method doesn't work, then just let the Queen Mother know about it."
"For the dignity of Tianjia..."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said, "The Queen Mother will not make it public."
If the Queen Mother is sure that the granddaughter of the Dali Temple Minister is the prostitute that the emperor is looking for outside, then it will be between 5 and 5 whether Gu Hengbo can save his life after giving birth to the child.
More importantly, if this identity is confirmed, even though the Queen Mother will not announce it, no matter how many sons Gu Hengbo gives birth to in the future, unless the emperor has no other heirs, the prince she gives birth to will permanently lose the right to inherit!
Mr. Shen lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty...I am a foreign minister after all. I cannot get too involved in the affairs of the inner court."
"Um…"
The emperor nodded silently and said, "I know."
"To be honest, I didn't want you to come forward in this matter. After all, you will be an important minister of our Hongde Dynasty in the future. It's just that there is really no suitable person around me to handle this matter."
"As for what you said, I will seriously consider it again. A little later, I will go to Kunde Palace to see my mother."
Having said this, the emperor paused, and then said: "We still need to make early preparations for the coastal capital. No matter how those civil servants stop it, I will build this capital sooner or later."
At this point, the emperor said in a low voice: "If they really don't pay, I will pay for it myself."
The emperor planned to replace the Huaihe Navy with this coastal division, so he naturally made great determination.
Talking about business, the emperor asked again: "By the way, Xu Fu has been going south for half a year. What are you doing now? Do you need me to do anything?"
When talking about business, Shen Yi also became serious, bowed his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, after Xu Fu arrived in Fujian, he was not in a hurry to do business. Instead, he followed the minister's wishes and investigated the local market in detail. Now he is mainly
I sell tea in Fujian, and also do some medicinal materials business. I don’t make a lot of money, but..."
"Very stable."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "With some military rations that Prince Jin had left for the anti-Japanese army, it is enough to feed five thousand people at present."
The emperor reached out and touched the long beard on his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Zi Heng."
He turned to look at Shen Yi and said, "Tell me, should I write a note to Xu Fu and let him sell salt..."
Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the local salt merchants have complicated forces and have rashly intervened. I'm afraid it won't be long before I go south to collect Xu Fu's body..."
"Well…"
The emperor squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and then looked at Shen Yi.
"I am very short of money now."
He looked at Shen Yi and said softly: "Let's do this. While Shen Qing is still in Jiankang, go back and bring me a charter in the next few days. If you need my cooperation, as long as it doesn't harm nature or endanger the people, I will do it."
Try to cooperate as much as possible.”
"also…"
The emperor lowered his head and thought for a while, then continued: "Furthermore, there seem to be two thousand households in the anti-Japanese army... to help you manage the anti-Japanese army, right?"
Shen Yi nodded slightly: "Yes, your Majesty is aware of the situation. One of these two people is called Ling Su. He is a former Linhai Guard Qianhu. He was recruited by the minister to the Ministry of War to join the anti-Japanese army."
"The other person was also a Linhai Guard, but he was promoted bit by bit. He is a rare and powerful general."
"That's it."
The emperor stretched out his hand and knocked on the table and said, "Write a letter to them and ask them to come to Jiankang and say..."
"Just tell me that I want to take time to meet them."
The big boss was worried about my mother just now, but now he was focusing on the coastal defense force. He looked at Shen Yi and smiled and said: "I want to see how useless these two Qianhu who defeated the Japanese pirates are. If
They are worthy of use, and I will reuse them in the future."
Having said this, the emperor looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "When the time comes, they will also thank you, 'Mr. Shen', for your kindness."
Hearing the word "Mr. Shen", Shen Yi was startled, and then hurriedly knelt down and said in panic: "Your Majesty, the rough men in this army are making fun of the horse... I am frightened..."
The emperor watched Shen Yi's reaction quietly. When he saw Shen Yi kneeling on the ground, he smiled dumbly.
"That's all, I didn't say anything."
The emperor stood up and stepped forward, personally helped Shen Yi up, reached out and patted his shoulder, with a dull look on his face: "You and I, the monarch and our ministers, will work together. In the future, if you can create a career, you Shen Yi, Shen Zi
