Chapter 249 Zhu Qiyu: You are so big, just go up, I will guard the house!
Gyeonggi, Fengtian Palace.
Today at the Great Court Meeting, all the officials from the capital and those who came to the capital to report on their duties were all present and lined up from the Fengtian Hall to the square under the white jade steps outside the hall.
Bai Gui, the Minister of Civil Service, asked for leave due to illness.
After Wang Wen, the Minister of Rites, came to the throne, Li Xian was left vacant.
Li Xian took office for only half a month when he was discharged due to illness.
Then Lu Yu, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was appointed as the Minister of Rites, and Xiang Zhong, the deputy governor of Shaanxi Province, was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
Lu Yu was also an old minister, with status and reputation as Minister of Rites.
In the turmoil of changing reserves, the Tang family's relatives were eliminated, and the central departments of the court were cleaned out, indicating that the civil service group of the Ming Dynasty was in twilight - it did not mean that the civil service group was dead and there was no one left.
It's that the civil service group no longer has the energy that it had from the Tumu Fortress Revolution to the eighth year of Jingtai.
Therefore, these two personnel changes were uneventful in the government.
In fact, the civil service clique has accepted its fate.
Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are strong, so they don't have the capital to fight for imperial power. In addition, the military generals group has not become dominant because of the decline of the civil servant group.
Therefore, the civil servant group is also happy with the current situation.
Since you can't resist, just lie down and enjoy it.
After His Royal Highness the Prince led the young army to the expedition, Zhu Qiyu regained the fighting spirit from the first year of Jingtai to the eighth year of Jingtai, and never summoned prostitutes from the Jiaofang Division.
The prince was fighting outside, and the emperor was too embarrassed to die in a dream.
Zhu Qiyu was very hands-on in every day's court meetings.
Especially when it comes to border wars, Zhu Qiyu is as tireless as a mother-in-law. He must be sure that there are no mistakes at the border before he can give up.
Zhu Qiyu not only worked hard on his own.
And catch the strong men!
The governors of the Qingqing and the Fifth Army Governor's Office in Beijing, the governors' colleagues, and even the governors' affairs, especially Yu Qian, the Minister of War, and Hang Min, the Minister of Works, no matter what happened, Zhu Qiyu would always find something to summon them to the Qianqing Palace.
Want to work?
Can.
Ask your subordinates to send all the local documents and departmental documents to be dealt with to the Qianqing Hall for adjudication in front of His Highness.
The intention is clear.
He was afraid that in case of an accident at the border, our Ministry of War, the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the Ministry of Works would be so slow to respond, causing his great son to suffer a loss at the border.
Everyone understands.
After all, our Majesty's great son is on an expedition in Hami.
But it is precisely because of Zhu Qiyu's diligence that all kinds of people's livelihood affairs in the Ming Dynasty were handled properly, and even local officials who were far away from the emperor did not dare to perfunctory matters.
Just kidding.
Qiqing and other important ministers have been captured by Zhu Qiyu. How dare your local officials be lazy?
Therefore, the impact of drought and floods in the spring and summer of the 17th year of Jingtai on the Ming Dynasty was quickly eliminated.
Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.
Zhu Qiyu's intention was clear, to ensure that the prince could concentrate on the war outside the pass.
Wenwu Mountain calls and salutes.
After Zhu Qiyu excused himself from the ceremony, he first asked the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office if any reports of the border battle had been sent back. Yu Qian and the officials of the Fifth Army Governor's Office were already numb and continued to repeat the narrative at yesterday's small court meeting.
There is no movement at the border!
The Jurchens were still wandering around in Liaodong. Although the Liaodong Dusi's troops had gathered, the Jurchens were wandering around without fighting. The Liaodong Dusi was also helpless.
The good news is that according to the news coming back from the Jurchens, Li Manzhu's vitality has declined and he probably won't live long.
This time I traveled to Liaodong, probably because I wanted to bargain for some benefits from the Ming Dynasty before I died.
The Maori boy has a little bit of trouble.
This means that they attacked the Great Wall Guancheng outside Xuanfu three times.
It's all a small fight.
The real intention is in the Loop area.
According to the meteorological experience in previous years, it will snow in the Hetao area in another half month. In other words, the main force of Maoli Hai will launch a strong attack on the Hetao area in three to five days at the latest.
The time has come to test Funing Hou Zhu Yong.
If he can hold the Loop, he will have a place as the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief.
If you can't hold on to the river, go home and farm.
Zhu Qiyu didn't hear the news he wanted, so he simply asked Yu Qian directly, "Yu Shaobao, is there any battle report coming from Hami?"
It's time for my son to arrive in Hami.
Although the Young Army was a firearms unit armed to the teeth, Zhu Qiyu was still worried. After all, the power of the prairie cavalry had been weighing on the hearts of the kings of the Central Plains dynasty from ancient times to the present.
Moreover, almost all the Oara tribes came out in full force, and the cavalry alone numbered 100,000.
There are only 10,000 young troops in the East Palace.
Even if there are 100,000 pigs running all over the mountains and plains, it is still a difficult job for you to catch 10,000 pigs.
Yu Qian coughed and said, "Your Majesty, Hami's crossbow is out of temperature. There is no military report for Tamur, Hang Yu, Cheng Xin and others. There should be no contact there."
It's also strange.
In previous years, when Mobei cavalry harassed the border, they didn't wait for time. They just gathered good people and broke through.
As a result, we made an appointment today this year and are waiting for the opportunity.
This is actually a good sign!
It shows that our Ming Dynasty is now very famous. The tribes in Mobei are worried that they will be chased and beaten by Ming Dynasty after they harass the border one by one. They are also afraid that they will harass the border too early, giving Ming Dynasty enough time to leave the border and pursue them.
So we agreed to go in and rob the country before it snowed, and then ran away.
Zhu Qiyu was greatly disappointed.
Immediately, I was secretly relieved. No news was good news.
Then we dealt with the domestic affairs of people's livelihood and the farewell ceremony of officials from various places, and then discussed the opening of the sea - the opening of the sea is a major event, which requires detailed discussions and careful management to satisfy the interests of all parties.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the East Palace Military Research Institute ordered Hang Min to suddenly come out and say: "Your Majesty, the East Palace Military Research Institute, in accordance with the order of His Highness the Crown Prince, has built a shipyard in Dengzhou Wei Zhong, and has built the keels of the steel battleships required by His Highness.
, but the shipyard currently has insufficient funds, so please ask Your Majesty to allocate funds."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Xun.
Chen Xun said angrily: "If I reply to Your Majesty, I have no money."
Zhu Qiyu was silent for a long time, "Hang Min, you can figure it out on your own. Your family must not ignore or neglect the things that the prince has told you."
Hang Min was silent for a while, and then said: "Wei Chen accepts the order."
There is a way to have no money.
Big deal...
Find a loan from Daming Bank.
Anyway, in less than a month after the establishment of Da Ming Bank, it has quickly sucked in the cash of many wealthy people in Gyeonggi Province, making them very rich.
As for how to pay back the money...it will give His Majesty and the Crown Prince a headache.
Don't you and your son own the Royal Bank?
I have been collecting money like crazy recently, and the speed is faster than that of Da Ming Bank, because even though there is no custodial fee for depositing money in Da Ming Bank, there is no profit.
You can deposit money into Daming Royal Bank and earn interest!
Low is a bit low.
But as long as your deposit amount is large enough, the interest income in one year will be considerable.
Zhu Qiyu said again: "Over there at the Ministry of Agriculture——"
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from far away from the square outside Fengtian Hall: "Battle report! Eight hundred miles urgent battle report, eight hundred miles urgent battle report from Hami!"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly started up and stood up involuntarily.
All the civil and military officials in the hall were in high spirits.
Hami’s battle report?
Did His Highness win the first battle, or did he get off to a bad start?
