As a result, these prisoners of war were very motivated and could not wait to do the work of the past three days in one day. And the people who had been displaced by the war returned to their hometowns and began to rebuild under the comfort of the officials who took office again.
home.
Due to the influx of merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty, a large number of daily necessities and food were available in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. There was no sign of famine in the northern part of the peninsula that had experienced the war. This, at least, made the people of the northern peninsula
I have a deep feeling of the kindness and kindness of Ming Dynasty.
In addition, when the Ming Dynasty ruled these areas, many former officials were appointed. These officials came to appease the people, so the people naturally did not feel too uncomfortable.
This made Zhu Qizhen very happy, and it also made those officials who had complained about Zhu Qizhen bullying the small ones and cleaning up the vassal country shut their mouths. After all, with new land, those who retired
The soldiers received enough benefits, and the country also obtained a new source of tax revenue.
Where can such a good thing be found? The vast majority of courtiers are already praising Zhu Qizhen’s wise and wise decision. Who dares to go against the general trend at this time? Even if Zhu Qizhen doesn’t stop, those former officials
Colleagues will also treat you as if they are worthless and despise you, which can range from being alienated from you, or even finding fault with you all day long. The outcome at that time will be hard to say.
Zhu Qizhen certainly understood what Li Xian would think after hearing what he said. However, although he did not mind his ministers knowing his true intentions, he still had to express his deeper thoughts after all:
"...Of course, it is not just driven by interests. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I naturally have to consider the future of the Ming Dynasty. Now, all the barbarians of the Ming Dynasty are convinced, but no one knows what will happen in the future. What will happen in the future?"
Will the vassals that have been subdued by the power of Huanghuang Heaven in our Ming Dynasty take advantage of the internal turmoil in our Ming Dynasty to hide their evil intentions?"
"An ancient saying goes, one is born in sorrow and dies in peace and happiness. I deeply believe this saying, no matter it is as powerful as the Han and Tang Dynasties, or as extravagant as in the Song Dynasty..."
"If I want to make the Ming Dynasty long-lasting, I have to make the Ming Dynasty full of enterprising spirit and aggressiveness that are different from the past dynasties, and be able to maintain strong fighting spirit and ambition at all times. In this way, with the national power of the Ming Dynasty, no one in the world can
Dare you peek into the Central Plains?"
"If the Ming Dynasty is strong, there will be no worries about external troubles. However, the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty arise. Officials are greedy, soldiers are timid, government orders are not implemented, people follow the rules and violate the rules, and there is also the danger of expanding clans and wasting national power..."
"Your Majesty's thoughts and concerns are beyond the reach of my ministers." Li Xian, who was dripping with cold sweat, couldn't help but sigh in admiration after hearing Zhu Qizhen's worrying words concerning the life and death of the Ming Dynasty.
-------------------
Li Xian has always been quite proud of his talents and knowledge, and he is also extremely confident in his abilities. When he was originally selected as a cabinet member by Zhu Qizhen, Li Xian naturally felt that it was natural. But the longer he got along with Zhu Qizhen,
The more I realized, the more I realized that in terms of vision and overall direction, a talented person like me from the Ming Dynasty was indeed far behind Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
This made the cabinet members who were originally proud and complacent also put their minds in order and work more conscientiously.
"Everyone has their own strengths. Li Qing doesn't need to be too modest." Zhu Qizhen nodded to Li Xian and smiled gently. At this time, the large team had already turned a corner and entered a wide street.
Zhu Qizhen looked up at the wide and tall mansion gate at the end of the lane. He couldn't help but take a deep breath. If he wanted to solve the clan's problem, he had to start from the owner of this mansion.
Outside the gate of this tall mansion, six strong and powerful soldiers were standing. When they saw Zhu Qizhen and his party walking slowly towards this side, two guards strode forward, Zhu Qizhen's personal bodyguard.
The guards rode forward and showed their badges to the two soldiers. The soldiers saluted Zhu Qizhen with excitement and awe and then stepped aside.
When Zhu Qizhen reached the door of the mansion, he got off his horse, raised his head, and looked at the three large characters "Prince Yin's Mansion" on the plaque above the door.
Looking at these three words, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but feel a little lost. This was the first time for him, or the first time since the palace change in the second year of Jingtai, that he was so close to Zhu Qiyu.
At this time, the servants in the mansion who had received the news quickly opened the door of the mansion and knelt down to greet Zhu Qizhen's family. However, Li Xian, Wei Mingtong and others were still accompanying Zhu Qizhen.
Seeing that there was no King Yi in the palace, only the princess Wang and his eldest son Zhu Jianji, everyone who followed Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but frown. Wang made a respectful salute and then said: "His Royal Highness King Yi
I am not feeling well and am recuperating in the back garden. I hope Your Majesty will not be surprised if I am unable to welcome you in person."
"Get up quickly. I came here incognito. I only want to talk about my brotherhood. There is no need for those false etiquettes. When I see Ji, why don't you call me when you see your uncle?" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand indifferently and squatted down to the tall man.
The handsome and charming Zhu Jianji stood in front of him with a smile.
"You should be called Your Majesty." Wang glanced at Zhu Qizhen and gently pulled Zhu Jianji, who was about the same age as Zhu Jianshen.
"Brothers and sisters, what you said is wrong. Your Majesty said that you are here just to express your love for brothers. Seeing that Ji is your Majesty's nephew, what's the harm in calling him uncle?" Qian Niang came over and stretched out her hand to help Wang.
He said with a smile.
Zhu Jianji was also smart, and he bowed respectfully to Zhu Qizhen. "My nephew Jianji has sent his greetings to his uncle."
"Okay, haha, my dear nephew." Zhu Qizhen couldn't help laughing heartily, and stretched out his hands to hold Zhu Jianji in his arms. Zhu Qizhen, who was tall and strong, hugged six-year-old Zhu Jianji, with Zhu Jianshen beside him.
He and several other children walked towards the back garden under the guidance of the palace attendants.
Qian Niang held her arm and walked slowly behind Wang. Seeing Wang's expression, Qian Niang pursed her lips and smiled sweetly: "Why, my brother and sister are still blaming my husband?"
"Sister-in-law, don't say such things. If it weren't for my uncle's kindness, I'm afraid my husband would have long ago..." Mrs. Wang quickly shook her head and said. "Now, although my husband does not leave home, he is better than before when he was in the position of the Son of Heaven."
I feel much more relaxed, I don’t have those annoying things anymore, and I don’t need to scheming with the ministers all day long.”
"These days, his health is getting better day by day." Having said this, looking at Zhu Jianji who was being held high by Zhu Qizhen and giggling non-stop, Wang's face couldn't help but feel a little brighter.
His brilliance. It seems that this uncle is indeed not a narrow-minded person.
"Jian Ji is also a poor child... Fortunately, I have a younger brother and sister." Looking at Zhu Jianji, Qian Niang couldn't help but sigh. Within two months since Zhu Qiyu was forced to abdicate, Concubine Hang died due to illness.
He passed away. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang was a kind-hearted person after all and treated Zhu Jianji as though he were gone.
Although Zhu Jianji lost his mother, he did not lack maternal love, at least he made up for it a little bit.
"No matter what, he is my husband's son after all." Wang said with a generous smile.
And deep in the back garden, in the secluded rain pavilion next to the quiet pond, the rosy-faced Zhu Qiyu was leaning on the couch, looking towards the archway into the back garden with a hint of uneasiness...
