Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 109: The Way of a King, His Majesty Has a Heart Full of Mountains and Rivers
Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi looked uneasy as they followed Ma Sanbao into the hall. They were both very confused and didn't understand why Zhu Yunhuan summoned such small figures like them.

According to their rank, normally they would only be summoned by the emperor once in their lifetime.

Moreover, Zhu Yunhuan was the new emperor who ascended the throne, but he directly summoned the two of them, which made them confused and they didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Ma Sanbao walked up to Zhu Yunhuan and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi are here."

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi bent down and knelt, their expressions extremely respectful.

"Get up!" Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi stood up and stood trembling.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at the two of them and smiled. He said, "Don't be nervous, you two. I asked you to come here mainly to discuss some private matters."

If this happened in the future, he would be the one who would be uneasy when meeting his father-in-law for the first time, right?

However, if you think about the current situation carefully, you can understand it. His status is too high now. He is the emperor and the monarch!

Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi are ministers.

君要臣death,臣不得不death!

This is an iron rule.

Therefore, it was impossible for Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi to make him nervous. On the contrary, every move he made would make Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi nervous.

According to the system.

In the future, after Zhao Rou and Zhang Yan entered his harem, Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi would have to kneel down and salute them whenever they saw them in public.

Lord of Heaven and Earth, personal teacher.

The king is in front, and the relatives are behind.

"Private matter?" Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other and became even more confused.

What private affairs were there between the emperor and them?

They racked their brains but couldn't figure it out.

"Did Your Majesty say something wrong?" The same thought came to their minds.

However, they dared not say it out loud.

The official positions of the two of them were so low that Zhu Yunhuan could crush them to death with just a thought.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yunhuan really said something wrong now, they couldn't say anything. They just had to listen obediently. When necessary, they even had to agree with what Zhu Yunhuan said.

Zhu Yunhuan didn't know what Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi were thinking, so he said, "I have just ascended the throne, and the harem is a little quiet. I heard that you two have virtuous daughters in your families."

Having said that, he simply closed his mouth and looked at Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi with a smile.

He's already the emperor, how can he be so proactive?

What he said just now was clear enough, and could be considered explicit. If Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi didn't behave, they would be somewhat immature!
"The harem is deserted?"

"Are there any virtuous women?"

Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi were stunned at first, and then there was a "boom" in their heads.

Both of them were stunned.

It turned out that the emperor had taken a fancy to their daughter.

"Smoke is coming out of our ancestral grave!" Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi's minds went blank.

What is their family background?
Marrying their daughter into the royal family, and to marry her to the emperor himself, was something they wouldn't even dare to dream of!
I never expected it. I never expected it!
No wonder Zhu Yunhuan just said that looking for them was a private matter, it really was a private matter!
"Your Majesty, it is my daughter's honor to enter the palace and serve you!" Zhao Sili came to his senses and immediately knelt down.

Zhang Qi was preempted by Zhao Sili, but he was not willing to be outdone and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"

"Okay, okay, get up, we're a family from now on!" Zhu Yunheng smiled and waved his hand.

With Xu Miaojin as the main person, and Zhao Rou and Zhang Yan as his assistants on his left and right, he can now bid farewell to his single life and enjoy the happiness of having many wives.

Just thinking about it makes my heart burn.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi stood up.

At this moment, both of them looked extremely excited. They never dreamed that when they were old, their official careers would still take off smoothly.

Moreover, this is not a simple takeoff, it is very likely that the family will be taken up together!
"After we go back, we must burn incense to our ancestors!" Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi thought secretly in their hearts.

If they say that this is not the blessing of their ancestors, they will definitely not believe it.

Maybe their ancestors ran their legs almost off in the underground, which is why they got this great opportunity.

Now, the harem has no master, and if their daughter enters the palace, she will at least be an imperial concubine. Even if she is lucky, the position of queen is not impossible!

"Okay, you can leave now. An imperial decree will be issued later!" Zhu Yunheng said.

"I resign!"

Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi looked extremely respectful and turned to leave.

When they came, they looked nervous and walked cautiously.

As they walked, they looked excited and thrilled, and their steps were firm and powerful.

Father of the country!

From now on, they will be the emperor’s father-in-law!

Take off!
Zhu Yunhuan watched Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi leave, and seeing them so excited that they were about to run, he smiled and shook his head.

The next second, he retracted his gaze and said, "Sanbao, what has the second brother been doing recently? I heard that he and Li Jinglong have become very close."

Thinking of this, he felt a little surprised.

When they were in Fengyang before, Zhu Gaoxu looked down on Li Jinglong very much. Unexpectedly, now that they came to Yingtian Prefecture, the two of them fell in love with each other and became so close that they were almost like one person.

This made him sigh that Li Jinglong was really awesome at socializing, except for being bad at fighting!
"Your Majesty, the second young master went to Duke Cao's mansion to drink." Ma Sanbao said.

Since Zhu Yunhuan had not yet rewarded Zhu Gaoxu, many of the old men who had joined the uprising in Fengyang still called Zhu Gaoxu the Second Young Master.

"Let's go and visit Duke Cao's mansion!" Zhu Yunhuan stood up.

The issue of the vassal kings has been resolved.

The court structure has been set up.

Harem expansion is also in progress.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner. It's a rare opportunity for him to have some free time, so naturally he needs to relax.

Come to think of it, he hadn't had a good drink in a long time.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ma Sanbao nodded.

"Oh, by the way, Sanbao, if you have time, you can find some books on navigation to read." Zhu Yunxun said.

I almost forgot about Ma Sanbao, the Pirate King of the Ming Dynasty.

In the third year of Fengyang, Ma Sanbao's loyalty no longer needed to be verified, and it was really a waste of his talent to confine him in the palace.

Of course, whether Ma Sanbao wants to become a pirate king in the future depends on Ma Sanbao's own wishes. Zhu Yunhuan will not force him.

However, based on Ma Sanbao's historical achievements, he should choose the sea.

At that time, what Zhu Yunhuan has to do is to give Ma Sanbao the most firm support!
"Ah? I went to read a book?" Ma Sanbao was stunned.

It is a taboo for eunuchs to read.

He was a little confused about what Zhu Yunhuan meant.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled and said, "This is a special permission for you!"

"Oh!" Ma Sanbao nodded. He always felt that Zhu Yunhuan had other deeper meanings, but he didn't think too deeply about it. Anyway, he just did whatever he was told to do and just listened obediently.

Could it be possible that Zhu Yunhuan could harm him?
Although Zhu Yunhuan never said it or showed it, he clearly understood that among all of Zhu Yunhuan's subordinates, he was definitely the most trusted one.

Envy?
This is the product of three years of hard work in Fengyang Bitter Kiln!

Three years of living together day and night allowed him to gradually approach Zhu Yunhuan's side.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Yunhuan to harm him.

"Oh, the sea," Zhu Yunhuan sighed in his heart.

No one knows the wealth contained in the ocean better than him. Since he has traveled through time, let the Ming Dynasty usher in this era of great navigation!

Of course, given the current situation, the great voyages of discovery are just a dream.

Eat the food one bite at a time.

The road must be walked step by step.

He still has a lot of things to do at the moment.

Ignoring the situation and acting recklessly would easily lead to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, dynasties are made up of individuals.

And people are complex.

This is why it is said that it is easy to conquer an empire but difficult to keep it.

Building an empire means destruction.

Sitting on the throne is construction.

To give the simplest example, building a snowman may take half a day, but destroying it may only take two kicks.

Of course, he has a system and the Eye of God, which allows him to speed up things that were originally slow.

However, no matter how much we accelerate, we can't achieve success overnight. The foundation needs to be laid steadily and step by step.

Wait until the final explosion, let nature take its course, and soar directly!

Outside the palace!
Zhao Sili and Zhang Qi looked at each other, smiled at the same time, and congratulated each other.

"congratulations!"

"Joy and rejoice together!"

There is some dirtiness in her heart, after all, there is only one position of queen.

However, it was also a kind of fate that the daughters of their two families entered the palace together, and now, their inner joy could only be shared with each other for the time being.

The two of them didn't exchange much pleasantries. After congratulating each other, they left.

Before the imperial edict was issued, they were asked to spread the news, but they didn't dare.

However, it is okay to tell your family and share the joy.

and also.

It is necessary to burn incense to our ancestors.

Without the blessing of our ancestors, how could my daughter be valued by the new emperor?

at the same time.

Xia Mansion!

After leaving the palace, Xia Yuanji, Xie Jin, Hu Yi and Yang Shiqi did not disperse, but came to Xia Yuanji's house together.

At this moment, all four of them had high spirits on their faces.

He was valued by the new emperor, appointed to the cabinet, and even had the opportunity to become the prime minister in the future.

For them, this can definitely be considered as high spirits.

Although they were no longer teenagers, at this moment, they suddenly felt the youthful vigor and arrogance.

Although the position of Prime Minister may lead to conflicts among them, this kind of thing is unlikely to happen in the short term.

What Zhu Yunhuan said just now was very clear.

All four of them will join the cabinet soon, so they will be colleagues in the future.

In this case, it is necessary to establish good relationships in advance.

Moreover, they are all about the same age.

They are about the same age, both are valued by Zhu Yunhuan, and will be colleagues in the future.

This naturally requires some prior communication.

of course.

And the most important topic of conversation is that the prime minister who has been banned for many years has finally shown signs of emerging.

And one of them will probably be promoted to a higher position!

No matter how you look at it, the four of them getting together is beneficial and harmless.

Even if they become enemies in the future, it will not stop them from singing to their heart's content at this moment.

"Everyone, I will not say anything extra. His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the court is in chaos. There are many things that need to be dealt with. His Majesty has found the four of us. This is our greatest opportunity. We must do our best to assist His Majesty in stabilizing the court." Xia Yuanji spoke first.
"You are right. Your Majesty has high hopes for us. We must not let Your Majesty down. Moreover, this may be the biggest opportunity in our lives." Xie Jin said.

"Anyway, I am ready to do a great job. His Majesty has treated me so well. It would be unreasonable if I didn't give my all. His Majesty has paved the golden road for us. The rest depends on whether we can seize the opportunity." Hu Yi said.

"I can see that Your Majesty may be able to achieve the same achievements as Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang. If we assist Your Majesty with peace of mind, we may also be able to follow their names and be recorded in history, and become a story of a monarch and his subjects that will be passed down through the ages." Yang Shiqi looked excited.

"You are absolutely right. Your Majesty is no ordinary ruler. But precisely because of this, we must closely follow in your footsteps and build a glorious Ming Dynasty!"

"I don't know if you have a hunch, but I always feel that His Majesty won't be greedy for power. He might let us indulge in martial arts and paint this magnificent Ming Dynasty landscape!"

"."

The more they spoke, the more excited they became. They could see that Zhu Yunhuan was extraordinary, and they were extremely fortunate to be about to follow such an emperor. If they themselves were outstanding enough, they would definitely have a place in history books in the future.

Learn the literary and martial arts and sell them to the imperial family.

Compared with military generals, civil officials are more valued.

The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king!
Zhu Yunhuan's performance undoubtedly showed that he was a pioneering monarch with a broad vision.

Since the King of Qin conquered the world.

The Central Plains were unified.

I don’t know when it started, but the emperor’s courage has become the criterion for judging whether one is excellent or not.

If you live in troubled times, raise an army and conquer a piece of territory, but then become satisfied and enjoy yourself in a corner of the country, then capable ministers will begin to persuade you. If you don't listen, they will abandon you and look for a new wise leader.

In short, this person has no future and should not be followed!
On the contrary, if the emperor has the courage to swallow up mountains and rivers, his followers will also be proud of it, and will work hard for such an emperor and speak with a loud voice.

"Master, the banquet is ready!" A servant came over and said respectfully.

"Everyone, please come in. We won't leave until we are drunk today!" Xia Yuanji looked at Xie Jin, Hu Yi and Yang Shiqi and extended an invitation.

"Okay, I won't come back until I'm drunk!"

Xie Jin, Hu Yi and Yang Shiqi looked at each other and said with a smile.

At this moment, they were in high spirits, and it would naturally be unhappy if they were to disperse like this.

A thousand cups of wine are less than a confidant.

Today, everything will become clear!

Duke Cao’s Mansion!

Zhu Gaoxu took Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong to Li Jinglong's house to drink.

In the past two days, he and Li Jinglong had a very good time.

"Come on, come on, all three of you, let's raise our glasses together. It's still the same old rule. The first glass of wine is to His Majesty!" Li Jinglong smiled and picked up the glass.

When it comes to socializing, his abilities are truly amazing.

He was not at all shy towards Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong and greeted them warmly.

"Damn, what a Duke Cao!" Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong were both stunned when they heard Li Jinglong's words.

Even though Zhu Yunhuan is not around, he still thinks about it all the time. Awesome!
"Haha, you see, right? Although Jinglong is not good at fighting, there are many things in other areas where we can learn from him." Zhu Gaoxu smiled and was not at all shy about Li Jinglong's performance.

During these two days, he has really opened his eyes.

I gradually understood why Li Jinglong was able to thrive under Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen. Even now that he is following Zhu Yunhuan, he is still living a happy life.

That’s what real ability is!

"Got it!" Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong nodded in unison.

Li Jinglong drank the wine, smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Two generals, don't try to imitate me. I'm just a novice, but His Majesty is no ordinary man. All you need to do is fight well. If you all become like me, you'll be wasting your time and effort."

"That's true. You can just use Jinglong's character as a reference. You don't have to force yourself to learn it. Besides, Hu Ge'er is not an ordinary person. As long as you are really capable, you will be valued." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong nodded.

They also have self-knowledge. If they are asked to learn from Li Jinglong, let alone whether they can learn it, even if they do, they probably will not be able to catch up with Li Jinglong.

It’s simple, the identities of both parties are different.

If Li Jinglong were to do the same thing, he might be able to accomplish it easily, and everyone would be happy together. However, if the two of them were to go, they might be harassed.

"Tsk tsk, you guys are doing great!" Zhu Yunhuan walked into the house and said with a smile.

"His Majesty?"

Li Jinglong, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong were stunned at first, and then they all stood up, stepped forward and knelt to pay their respects.

"Okay, okay, this is not a formal occasion today, so everyone get up." Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand.

Immediately, he walked to the wine table and sat down, saying, "Jinglong, I came to your place today to ask for a drink, do you mind?"

"No problem, no problem. It's my blessing that Your Majesty can come!" Li Jinglong said with a smile on his face. After that, he said to the servant beside him, "Go, bring me a set of bowls and chopsticks!"

"Yes, sir!" The servant nodded and turned to leave.

"Okay, stop standing and take a seat!" said Zhu Yunxun.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong all sat down.

"Brother Hu, why are you here?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

"It's you. I heard that you've been going to Jinglong's house recently, so I'm curious about what kind of magic potion he has put into you. I remember that you seemed to look down on him before." Zhu Yunxun said.

"Ah?" Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and said awkwardly, "Brother Hu, that's all in the past. Don't keep mentioning it. Jinglong may not be very good at fighting, but he has many shining points in other areas and is very capable!"

"really!"

Zhu Neng and Sheng Yong nodded and agreed.

They all saw Li Jinglong's performance just now and couldn't help but admit it.

"You three, can you please stop praising me?" Li Jinglong shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

He suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart. Following Zhu Yunhuan was much easier than following Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen.

It was an indescribable feeling, but he could clearly feel it. It made him feel very comfortable, and his whole mind seemed to relax.
