The chief officials of the two major general districts of Jilin and Heilongjiang changed positions.

For an emperor, it is very important to choose the right person to take office.

Maintaining the status quo and developing the country go hand in hand, and the place must be governed as well.

If Liaodong is positioned as a granary, then Heilongjiang and Jilin are gateways. They are not required to pay much taxes. As long as they are peaceful and safe, they can be self-sufficient.

The candidate is naturally selected from among the nobles.

Mobei, Jilin, and Heilongjiang, Zhu Yixi plans to use these three places as training places for nobles and talents.

Not to mention checking and balancing civil servants, it is enough as long as it can play a certain role in safeguarding imperial power.

Of course, after Zhu Yixi took the throne, she was very obsessed with power, so the cabinet almost became assistants and executors.

However, it can be predicted that after a few generations, the imperial power will inevitably weaken, and the civil power will definitely rise and gain the upper hand.

After all, the civil servants were all qualified through hard work, and they were all talented people. How could the emperor deal with them on his own?

So, let everything go!

The cabinet system is already the pinnacle of monarchical centralization, and the military aircraft department is simply not suitable.

As for constitutional monarchy?

Stop talking nonsense, the emperor who loses his power is worse than a dog!

Unless there is a change of dynasty, or someone rebels.

The nobles did not know what the emperor was thinking. They had strong envy for the return of Xin Wencheng and Wang Shiguo.

Good guy, he became a nouveau riche directly.

You have made at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in ten years. How rich is this?

For a time, the nobles felt that the jobs in the Beijing camp were no longer good, and the position in the Fifth Army Governor's Office was not good either. The Northeast was too good.

Duke Jing's Mansion.

Gao Yigong sat calmly in the courtyard. The bamboo lounge chair was carved with beautiful patterns. It swayed, making his whole body relax involuntarily.

And beside him is Zezhou Hou Baiwang.

As a general of the Chuang army who stayed in Huguang, he surrendered when the emperor captured Hubei, and then followed him in the southern and northern campaigns. He was considered a great meritorious figure, so he was awarded the title of Marquis.

Although not as good as the Duke, he was already satisfied.

With his status as a thief, being able to capture a marquis in the new dynasty was already a sign of smoke rising from his ancestral grave.

His cheeks were swollen and fleshy, the bridge of his nose was slightly straight, and his originally huge eyes had been squeezed by the fat and turned into squinty eyes.

Obviously, after years of pampering, this former warrior has become a wealthy and idle man.

At the age of sixty, one looks extremely rich, like Maitreya Buddha.

"My lord, have you heard about this matter in Jilin and Heilongjiang?"

After brewing for a long time, Bai Wang opened his mouth and said.

"I heard about it." Gao Yigong said without raising his eyelids and his voice was extremely lazy: "I made a lot of money, and the emperor turned a blind eye. Many people are yearning for it."

"That's not true!" Bai Wang said with salivation: "It's not considered corruption. You can make a fortune just by collecting anything."

"Why, do you also want to go to the Northeast? I can tell you in advance that the winter there can freeze people's ears off, so you have to think twice."

"Besides, Your Majesty is very concerned about Northeastern affairs. Once you are found to have neglected your duties, your title will probably be lowered a few levels!"

Gao Yigong said casually, but it made Bai Wang's heart tighten, and his face was full of hesitation.

"Dad——" Suddenly a soft cry came from the distance.

Gao Yigong's face immediately lit up with joy: "What's wrong, He'er."

At this time, a sixteen-year-old boy, wearing a loose military robe, with his hair tied up, and although his face was immature, was full of youth and nobility.

"The young master is back." Bai Wang turned his head with an amiable smile on his face.

Legend has it that this only son was the son of a concubine brought back by Gao Yigong from the Western Regions, but Bai Wang was not an ordinary person, and he vaguely knew that this was Gao Guiying's son.

In other words, he is Gao Yigong's nephew.

At the same time, he also has a more prominent identity - the illegitimate son of the Ming Emperor.

Under such circumstances, who dares to be disrespectful?

Although it was a bit outrageous, Bai Wang believed it 70% to 80%.

After all, Gao Guiying was captured, but the emperor was guarding her alone. Who knew if there would be a bare-chested brawl?

Therefore, Bai Wang hurriedly stood up, not to mention how close he was to him.

"Uncle Bai——" Gao He saluted quickly, very politely.

"Where are you going?" Gao Yigong looked at his son and asked with a smile.

"We're going to watch wrestling." Gao He said respectfully: "Today, two Mongolians are here to challenge Huang Jinbiao, the number one wrestler in the capital. Thousands of people are watching. Not to mention how lively it is."

When he said this, he said with excitement: "The handicap has exceeded 50,000 yuan. I don't know how many people have placed bets!"

"Nonsense, you didn't go gambling, did you?"

Gao Yigong frowned and scolded directly.

"Son, I don't dare." Gao He quickly shook his head.

"That's good." Gao Yigong nodded: "June is the martial arts competition. You have to compete well and try to get a good ranking."

"My son knows." Gao He nodded seriously.

After he left, Gao Yigong returned to his normal state.

Bai Wang envied and said: "Your young master was selected as a martial arts scholar when he was only sixteen years old. He is also considered to be the best among the nobles. It seems that the younger generation must be led by the young master."

"This is nothing." Gao Yigong sighed: "These young people have never suffered any hardships. They are born with rich clothes and fine food. I don't know how many noble children have become dandies."

"I don't want him to be outstanding, I just want him not to lose the reputation of our Gao family."

Bai Wang naturally agreed: "Who says it's not the case? My sons only know how to play around. Fortunately, they have a title, otherwise they would have been ruined long ago."

After a few casual words, Bai Wang was about to leave.

Gao Yigong understood what he meant. After hesitating for a moment, he said directly: "I will recommend it to His Majesty. I don't know whether he will be selected."

"I will remember my father-in-law's kindness."

A smile appeared on Bai Wang's face, but his clumsy body walked away with light steps.

Gao Yigong shook his head, not having any hope for this.

Here, Gao He left quickly and arrived at the East Crossing Courtyard of the mansion.

The area here is 1/4 the size of the entire mansion, with about twenty rooms and more than thirty maids serving it.

Along the way, the maids were full of joy at the arrival of the young master. They swayed their waists slightly, showing off their youthful charm, hoping to get some favors.

However, Gao He was immersed in walking and would not pay attention at all.

After walking hundreds of steps, he came to a quiet little courtyard. After reporting, he was allowed to enter.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard were particularly eye-catching. When he looked up, he saw a woman sitting upright, looking at him with a look of doting.

The woman has slightly white temples and a broad forehead. Although her facial features are not very beautiful, she has a heroic spirit.

She is Gao He's biological mother - Gao Guiying.

In fact, Gao Guiying had been taking care of Gao He since he was a child. By the time he recognized Gao Yigong as his father, he was already seven or eight years old and sensible.

Of course, the emperor would visit him every once in a while to make him understand his identity.

Therefore, Gao He also knew Gao Yigong, his uncle, and was willing to call him daddy.

After all, people leave a prince to themselves.

"Mother——"

After all the maids had left and only a few personal maids were left, Gao He shouted.

"He'er is back." Gao Guiying's eyes were full of tenderness at this time: "What are you playing today?"

"Looking at someone wrestling." Gao He sat casually on the chair, picked up the fruit on the table and started eating.

"There's a martial arts competition coming up soon, so you have to pay attention."

"It's okay. Your son, I am very capable. Even if the emperor is here, can you still ask me to depose him?"

These casual words made Gao Guiying frown: "What nonsense are you talking about -"

"Do you think the emperor will interfere in martial arts competitions for you?" Yu

"If you really cheated and passed the exam, the emperor would definitely be displeased."

"My father is so stingy." Gao He said unhappily: "You ask for so much, but you give so little."

"Look at those sons, who were granted kingships and vassalships one by one. It's very uncomfortable to be called a loner. As for me, I have to take a hard exam for a martial arts exam. We are all sons, and the gap is too big."
