Chapter 1596 Guo Xiang’s doubts and promotion of the Eight Banners System
"It's so noisy——"
Guo Xiang grabbed the silk quilt and covered her head, but she still couldn't block the noise of several children.
After checking into the Chengde Palace last night, she followed Cheng Ying to live in the harem dormitory.
Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang each have five children, a total of seven boys and three girls.
The oldest is eleven and a half years old, and the youngest is one and a half years old. As long as the youngest one wakes up every day, the others will soon wake up one after another.
Then, the whole dormitory was filled with noise.
Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang were influenced by Su Mingzhe and believed that it was natural for children to be lively and active, and they were rarely restrained.
Guo Xiang couldn't stand it. She had grown up on Peach Blossom Island and had never seen so many children making trouble.
When Cheng Ying saw her nephew complaining, she was helpless and could only call the boss:
"Yanxi, let's go out and play with your younger brothers and sisters!"
"Let's go, let's go out and play!"
When Su Yanxi heard that she could go out to play, she jumped up and down with excitement.
In the past, it would have been a quarter of an hour or two before it was time to practice.
If I can go out to play with my younger brothers and sisters today, I can save a day of practice.
For a child of Su Yanxi's age, missing one day of practice is definitely a great joy.
Not long after.
Cheng Ying's bedroom finally became quiet.
It’s just that Guo Xiang couldn’t sleep.
It's time to arrive.
Guo Xiang heard the sound of the whip and knew that Su Mingzhe was busy with government affairs.
Guo Xiang, who was tossing and turning and unable to sleep, suddenly had a blush on her small face:
"In addition to being a bit lustful, he is also quite diligent..."
In recent years, under the governance of Su Mingzhe in the Ming Dynasty, people's livelihood in various places has recovered rapidly.
Guo Xiang still remembers that when she first came to Dadu with her parents, there were still barren mountains and wilderness everywhere.
Nowadays, ditches are dug and water conservancy projects are built in various places, and crops have been planted on all the wasteland.
Moreover, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the weather has been good year after year, and people everywhere can eat well and wear warm clothes.
The Beggar Clan, the largest gang in the past, has been unable to recruit new members for several years.
After thinking wildly about the clock, Guo Xiang slept until almost noon, then got up.
Stretching, the two little rabbits on his chest trembled, which reminded Guo Xiang of some bad images.
She didn't know what was going on. She was obviously only sixteen years old, but the two little rabbits were older than the eldest sister who had given birth to children.
In order to not attract attention on weekdays, she could only wrap them in long strips of cloth, and then let them loosen for a while at night.
Had lunch.
Guo Xiang came to the queen's bedroom.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Wanyanping coaxing her child.
Wanyanping also knew that Su Mingzhe was interested in Guo Xiang. Now that they had met, she reached out and took Guo Xiang's little hand, and said with a gentle smile:
"Xiang'er is here!"
"Empress Shu!"
Guo Xiang said Wanfu Jinan.
"Why are Xiang'er here?"
Wanyanping took Guo Xiang's little hand and entered the bedroom, then asked curiously.
She remembered that after Guo Xiang entered the palace, he either followed Guo Fu or Cheng Ying, and rarely came to Xiao Longnu's side.
When Xiao Longnu heard the noise, she also raised her head and looked at Guo Xiang, her eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.
After Su Mingzhe founded the country, he did not add any concubines to his harem for ten years.
However, just before coming to Chengde this time, Su Mingzhe found Xiao Longnu and said that he was attracted to Guo Xiang and wanted to summon Guo Xiang into the palace as his concubine.
Xiao Longnu was very curious about this. What kind of magic power did this girl Guo Xiang have that could make Su Mingzhe make an exception?
Faced with the curiosity of the two women, Guo Xiang said calmly and generously:
"Empress, Xiang'er heard that the Empress has a treasure here that can freeze her appearance, so she wanted to come and have a look!"
??????55.??????
After hearing this, Wanyanping couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"Xiang'er, where did you hear this gossip?"
If Xiao Longnu really has a treasure that can freeze people's appearance, and she is Xiao Longnu's biological sister, how can she not borrow it and use it?
Guo Xiang was disappointed when she heard that there was no treasure, but she asked unwillingly:
"If the Empress doesn't have a baby that can freeze people's appearance, how can she stay so young?"
…
Guangming Palace.
Inside the royal study.
Su Mingzhe had been handling government affairs all morning, and Chabi, who woke up from his sleep, came in to deliver lunch and cold drinks.
When Su Mingzhe saw Chabi, he waved to her. When the woman came closer, he put his arms around her waist and said with a smile:
"Your father came here just now. He said he wanted to pass the throne to Soo'er Huodu and asked for my opinion. I agreed!"
Chabi's father, Basihuer Yingchen, was the chief of the Mongolian tribe west of the river, with eight thousand string-controllers under his command.
And Zaoerhuo is the younger son of Jingchen and the half-brother of Chabi.
Chabi's father wanted to pass the throne to his younger son, obviously for Chabi's sake.
When Chabi learned that his younger brother could inherit the throne of King Hexi, he quickly thanked him.
"You deserve this!"
Su Mingzhe helped the woman up and held her in his arms for a while.
In his harem, the looks of Xiaolongnu, Chabi, and Tang Anan are obviously a level higher than other women.
And Xiao Longnv's temperament is cold, like mountain ice and snow, which has been like a day for more than ten years and is difficult to melt.
Tang Anan lived in the Duke of Qin's palace outside the palace, and was only occasionally called into the palace for lovemaking.
Most of the time, Chabi stayed with Su Mingzhe. As time passed, Chabi gave birth to three more sons and three daughters for Su Mingzhe, and Su Mingzhe's feelings for Chabi became deeper and deeper.
The two chatted for a while, and Su Mingzhe suddenly said:
"My dear concubine, in recent years, the Eight Banners system has been implemented in Baishan and Heishui outside the pass, and the effect is good. I plan to implement a similar system in the grasslands, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, Uzang, Dali, South Vietnam, Nanyang, Tianzhu and other places. Your father's
The Hexi tribe only has eight thousand people who can control strings. According to regulations, they can only be rated as Five Flags. You should discuss this matter with your father later to prevent him from getting angry!"
Over the years, Chabi has assisted Su Mingzhe in handling government affairs and is no stranger to the "Eight Banners System".
The "Eight Banners System" of the Ming Dynasty refers to a policy system implemented in places where Han people and tribes of various ethnic groups live together.
The so-called "Eight Banners" are divided into three upper banners and five lower banners.
Shangsanqi must be a tribe with a large population. Because of its large population, it has the qualifications to ask the Ming Dynasty to help build cities and trade with the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty will also grant the title of "Zhonglang General" to the tribal chiefs who have been awarded the title of "Zhonglang General", which is the same as the provincial governor of the Ming Dynasty. They will not only be given the second-grade official seal, but also the first-grade unicorn robe.
The status of the Five Banners is quite different. They can only come to the Chengde Palace to meet in court in May, June, and July. The location for mutual exchanges is not fixed, and the title is just a "Qiduwei". The position is the same as that of Daming Prefecture.
The magistrate and county magistrate of the prefecture will grant the official seal of the third, fourth and fifth ranks, as well as the tiger and leopard robes of the third and fourth ranks.
Chabi has been in charge of government for so many years, so he naturally understands that Su Mingzhe's implementation of the "Eight Banners System" in the border areas is a blatant attempt to sow discord.
But because the Ming Dynasty was the strongest and had the initiative in the mutual market, the tribal chiefs of all ethnic groups had no choice but to accept this system.
And with the "Eight Banners System", it can be said that the security problems in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty were reduced by 90%.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty has always advocated the system of border farming. If tribes encounter extremely bad weather and come to the Ming Dynasty for help, the Ming Dynasty will help.
It can be said that as long as the "Eight Banners System" is promoted, the Ming Dynasty's borders will be stable for at least thirty years.
Faced with such an effective system, Chabi naturally understood that it would definitely be promoted among all ethnic groups in the border areas.
