"Is there any news coming from the south?" Zhu Qizhen likes the scenery here very much. Although it is not as misty and dreamy as the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, it has a different style of spring in the north, especially when wandering by Zhonghai Lake, looking at the faint waves of light. Zhu Qizhen felt particularly relaxed and happy as he admired the blue water of the lake, admired the green trees, and listened to the light melodies sung by the birds that shuttled through the forest.
"Your Majesty, Jianghuai and Wang Wen have now taken up their posts in Nanjing. Although the Bao Shipyard has not built new ships for many years, it still repairs ships for the Ming Navy all year round, so they are not considered dilapidated. Now, they have all been cleaned up. It's almost there, and those newly built docks are now beginning to take shape." Yuan Bin replied with a smile.
"Well, this is really good news. I really can't wait." Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but raise his brows, and the smile on his face became a little more. "Remember, tell Jiang Huai and Zhang Fu, they keep a close eye on the Bao Shipyard, and all the materials and remuneration must be received on time and paid to the craftsmen in full and on time."
"If something goes wrong and the Nabao Shipyard cannot start construction in time, or if the craftsmen are unable to live because the wages they receive in the shipyard are not enough, in that case, let them come to see me on their own." Zhu Qizhen said. Finally, his tone suddenly dropped.
Looking at Zhu Qizhen's face that suddenly became as cold as frost, and these chilling and murderous words, Yuan Bin and others couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and they respectfully accepted the order.
"Work hard for me, and I won't lose anything to them. As long as you make achievements and contribute to our Ming Dynasty, I will definitely not hesitate to give you a reward. Even if you make me your wife and son-in-law in the future, it is not impossible."
"Especially Jiang Huai and the others, they are all old people who have been with me for a long time. They have been with me through life and death. I value them very much. But the more I value them, the less I want them to make mistakes." Zhu Qizhen glanced at this group of people. The confidant who quietly bowed his head to listen to his teachings revealed a hint of helplessness in his voice. "I don't want to see those meritorious officials being proud of their merits. The important thing is that I don't want to personally criticize them and watch their heads fall to the ground. "
"Your Majesty's kindness is a blessing to our ministers. I have thanked Your Majesty on their behalf. I will definitely tell them your Majesty's words and make them remember your Majesty's hard work." Yuan Bin looked at Zhu Qizhen. His face was filled with gratitude.
How could Yuan Bin not know about Shi Heng and others? Yuan Bin, who has always been very calm-minded, could also see why Zhu Qizhen would do such a heavy trick. It can be said that Shi Heng and Zhang Fu were demoted openly and secretly. They were entrusted with important tasks by Zhu Qizhen, but the problem is that just shutting up and thinking about the past few months has already made them live in sunshine.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
In addition to the two of them, many of the officials who accompanied them that day were demoted or even dismissed due to one or another fault.
This shows how vigilant and iron-fisted Zhu Qizhen was in this regard. What's more, Shi Heng was Zhu Qiyu's favorite general who took the lead in serving the emperor. In Yuan Bin's view, although Shi Heng and others behaved inappropriately, , it is difficult to call him a good minister, but he never thought that Zhu Qizhen would be furious in court.
He did not give any chance to these people to help him seize the throne, and acted as a powerful minister. I was afraid that if it weren't for Yang Hong's old age, his health has become worse and worse in the past two years, and the three sons of the Yang family are all in the army.
The key point is that it is impossible to say that Zhu Qizhen will probably entrust the planning of Liaodong to this veteran general who has great military achievements, is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and is an upright and honest official.
Zhu Qizhen used such a thunderbolt method that the nobles and civil and military ministers who were originally proud of their merits couldn't help but shuddered and suddenly woke up. All the pregnant women lined up to the hospital to have them aborted collectively.
Pretending to be pure and ignorant, pure and invincible, well, in a nutshell, work honestly and be a down-to-earth person. Do you want to use crooked ways to climb up? Please, take a look at yourself in the mirror first and see if your face looks good.
He looks more like Guan Yunchang than Shi Heng.
"...I have also read the information sent by Shi Heng and others, and I think what they guessed should be the truth. When will those straight women in Jianzhou become honest after having dealt with our Ming Dynasty for so many years?
?Haha... One is Wanhu, and the other is the secret envoy of the central government. Well, he eats my Ming Dynasty's rice, wears my Ming Dynasty's silks, and uses my Ming Dynasty's ironware. But he still wants to use my Ming Dynasty to communicate with that person.
North Korea has profited from the disputes on the Liaodong border. Good, very good. He is worthy of being the ancestor of the wild boar skin. He really has two brushes." Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and looked at the northern sky.
In another hundred years, those Jianzhou women will use Jianzhou as their base and take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's internal and external troubles to invade the south, and the last Han empire will collapse under the weapons of foreigners. After more than three hundred years,
, almost wiped out the bloody spirit and courage of the Chinese nation.
"Wild boar skin?" Yuan Bin, who was following Zhu Qizhen, heard this word and couldn't help but be stunned. The ancestor of wild boar skin? What a crazy idea... I don't know how those Jianzhou straight women offended His Majesty. Every time
When he mentioned them, looking at Zhu Qizhen's expression and face, he looked like he wanted to eat people.
Yuan Bin thought hard for a long time and suddenly tapped his forehead. Yes, why did he forget that guy? Xi Ning, the traitor who sold Zhu Qi Town to Wasi Mongolia, the one who frequently offered advice to Wasi Taishi also came forward first.
, the dead eunuch who caused the border towns of the Ming Dynasty to suffer frequent disasters and lost troops and generals was a female straight person.
Thinking of this, Yuan Bin couldn't help but shudder secretly. It seems that the emperor's hatred is really..., well...poor straight women, if you want to blame it, blame it on your clan for having such a bad guy like Xi Ning.
Damn it, you deserve to piss off our great emperor!
Zhu Qizhen didn't notice the frightened expressions of his confidants around him. After rolling his eyes a few times, he chuckled and said: "Tell Shi Heng and the others that I not only want the entire Liaodong, but also want to rehabilitate them."
In my homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, I asked them to beat those women until they hurt. After that, they must be driven into the territory of the Korean Kingdom. It is best to let them ask for help from the Korean Kingdom. I would like to take a look.
How will the Korean Kingdom react? Haha, although throwing away a few official titles is not worth much, the Korean Kingdom is ambitious after all, and I don’t believe they won’t take any action."
"But Your Majesty, if General Shi and others do this, I am afraid that the North Korean Kingdom will find out the clues. At that time, the North Korean Kingdom will definitely send envoys to inquire. In that case, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will definitely know about this matter. In that case...
..." Yuan Bin thought for a while and decided to express his doubts to fulfill his duty as a minister.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"Haha, it doesn't matter." The sly smile on Zhu Qizhen's face did not decrease but grew. "When the time comes, I really want to go face to face with the envoy of the Korean Kingdom and get the matter to the bottom of the matter."
"I wonder what your Majesty is referring to?" Wei Mingtong, who could hear the fire of gossip burning in his heart, couldn't help but ask.
"What else can happen? Well, back then, Taizu and his old man, in order to prevent the remnants of Yuanmeng from retreating, so that the remnants of Yuanmeng could not get any assistance, for my Ming Dynasty, he supported an assistant who could oppose Yuan Qinming.
, therefore, the northern part of the Korean Peninsula will be granted to the Li Dynasty." Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but get angry when he mentioned this.
"It's a pity that Emperor Taizu's good intentions were regarded by people like Li Chenggui as the kind-hearted Ming Dynasty that can be bullied, which led to today's situation, causing mischief in that Liaodong border town all day long. Humph, he really took me for granted.
Ming Dynasty really doesn’t dare to deal with him?”
"But Your Majesty, after all, this was promised by Emperor Taizu himself. If it were Your Majesty..." Wei Mingtong couldn't help but look at Zhu Qizhen with some worry.
"When Emperor Taizu was here, he only wanted to clear away the remnants of Yuan and Meng, and he was not allowed to do so. He thought of our vast country and made such concessions, which fully shows the benevolence of our Ming Dynasty and also proves our Ming Dynasty's generosity towards the Tibetan people. However,
, What did you get in exchange?" Zhu Qizhen snorted at Wei Mingtong's words.
"I need to kill chickens and respect monkeys. I want all the people in the world to understand the truth for me. I, the Ming Dynasty, treat you well. That is your luck, but you can't push yourself too far. If that's the case, I, the Ming Dynasty, will not only give you the past.
Take everything you have back, and you still have to pay interest."
"Those ministers always say that you cannot violate the ancestral system or the ancestral law. However, from ancient times to the present, how many times have the ancestral law changed and how many times have it been moved? If everyone follows the ancestral system and does not want to make progress,
How could the powerful Han prosper in the Tang Dynasty? How could we have the Ming Dynasty today?"
"In a word, time has changed. Those ministers who dare to jump out and shout such things, do you really think it is because they have violated the ancestral system? Haha, in fact, it is because it has touched their interests." Zhu Qizhen
He told this group of confidants without hesitation, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other, but they were also stunned.
"You are all my confidants, please remember one thing for me. What I have to do is for my Ming Empire, for the Chinese nation, not just for the happiness of my family. You just work in peace for me.
Do it with your heart, as for those who want to cause trouble. Haha, don't be afraid, I am here. As the saying goes, soldiers will stop you, and water will drown you. They want to talk and fight with me, which is exactly what I want, otherwise
, isn’t it too boring for me to be the emperor?” Having said this, Zhu Qizhen couldn’t help but feel filled with endless fighting spirit. There is a saying from his ancestors that is really good, fighting with others brings endless joy...
Hearing this, everyone around Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but feel chills running down their backs. Zhu Qizhen's methods and style were so different from the emperors they knew in the past. However,
They sincerely believed that Zhu Qizhen would indeed bring different vigor and vitality to the Ming Dynasty. He would also lead the Ming Empire towards a brand new dynasty that was different from those dynasties that were obscured by the dust of history.
