Chapter 126: Vast of the State

The emperor did not understand this economic method and did not worry too much. Su Shun, Yan Jingming, Yi and others took charge of this matter together, and it was expected that there would be no big deal. Even if something went wrong, it would not matter - the ninth day of the sixth lunar month is coming, and it is another annual birthday festival.

When I woke up in the morning, the four deacons and eunuchs were served by the four deacons and eunuchs, who had changed into velvet grass-faced, silk tassels, and the beads and crowns of the beads and beads, wearing a soapy-colored golden dragon robe, a stone-colored straight-colored golden dragon robe, a stone-colored straight-colored golden dragon robe, a white-hair jade four-piece tile ponytail wool boots, and went to Fengxian Hall and Dagao Hall to pay tribute. When Empress Xiaoquancheng held incense and salute, she returned to the imperial face and finished her breakfast, and went to the Tangbo Jingcheng Hall to receive congratulations and delivered wishes. Then the emperor gave a banquet. These are common things, and there is no need to explain in detail.

Although it is the birthday festival, the first of the three major festivals, the state affairs will not be delayed for a moment. After lunch, the Military Affairs Office called out as usual, "A few months ago, the British shipyard came to our land of China to discuss with Wen Xiang and others to build gunboats. Later, I carefully read the memorials from the General Administration Office, especially those from Shen Baozhen. In order to open up the road and absorb knowledge, other sea patrol gunboats should have memorials produced by the Celestial Empire in addition to the blocked areas, and I agree with it. Large ships such as ironclad ships may not be able to match the strength of our dynasty, but what about smaller ones? Can't we build them?"

"So I think, in Anqing Shipyard, taking this opportunity to build the navy, we will build our own surface ships of our Celestial Empire separately. For such a thing, don't be afraid of spending money. You will never think that only six iron-clad ships can completely protect the seas, right?" He said, pointing to a thick stack of paper on the imperial desk, patting it with his hand, making a bang, "This is the ship picture book I have painstakingly described in the past few months, Lao Liu?"

"My brother is here."

"In a few days, you can go to Anqing and take these pictures to see if there is a possibility of actual operation. If so, you will take the lead and discuss with Zeng Guofan carefully in Anqing Mansion and Liangjiang, and make the specific amount of money spent. I will take a look and talk about it."

Yi was naturally ordered to be honest. Wen Xiang smiled and replied, "The emperor is as wise as the sky, and the slave is impressed. In this case, the slave cannot wait to share the worries of the king and father, but instead asks the emperor to work hard for state affairs and military affairs... It really makes the slave feel ashamed."

The emperor smiled helplessly. Many things cannot be explained to them. He himself did not know much, but some very forward-looking and inspiring suggestions that Yu Haijun could at least avoid detours when he started the construction of major events. "You may not be familiar with them. I understand them, but I cannot know them. In short, each has its own strengths, so there is no need to feel guilty."

"Yes." Wen Xiang agreed and asked again, "Emperor, except for all shipyards in Anqing Prefecture, coastal provinces have submitted seals, requesting to find a suitable place for people and land under their rule, to build a machine bureau, a shipyard, to recruit Western experts, to gather the handsome men in the province, to strengthen naval construction, and slaves, etc., that this matter should be approved. Please make an appointment early."

"This matter is not accurate." The emperor shook his head, "At least, it is not accurate now." He said, "Naval construction is important, but more importantly, the court must have a complete and effective management organization, and the two routes are parallel to solve the landscape of the shipyard and fire factories in the future. Without such a mechanism, some major projects that have been launched hastily become the source of profit for those bastards in China and abroad. At that time, even if they can be found out, they will eventually cause irreparable losses to them. I will not do such a thing."

Luo Bingzhang knelt down below and smiled bitterly in his heart: This time he truly witnessed the emperor's Legal heart!

"The slaves reported to the emperor that the king of Korea, Zhezong, was in the capital. The Japanese master who was in charge of the successor of the Korean envoy came to the temple. He submitted a letter to the new king, Li Xi, and asked for permission to surrender the country of the Qing dynasty."

"Okay, I know this, although I have never seen it, but I can get the approval of the Korean and opposition parties, and even the Kim clan. It is still rare to have talent. However, a twelve-year-old child has not yet been able to take power, so there must be someone to assist with the dishes. How did the North Koreans make a decision on this matter?"

"I don't know about this matter. It has not been mentioned in the documents submitted by North Korea."

"North Korea is a vassal state of my Qing Dynasty. We always have to help you. When Li Xi becomes an adult, then transfer the power." The emperor smiled maliciously, "What do you think?"

Yi was shocked. Although the emperor's words were obscure, the meaning inside was still very clear. North Korea has always been a vassal state of China, but its attitude towards the former Ming Dynasty was different. When Nurhaci was outside the Longxing Pass, North Korea refused to bow its head and surrender, and finally sent heavy troops to suppress it. At the end of the matter. However, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and established the country, the relationship between North Korea and the Qing Dynasty was always in a lukewarm position. Naturally, envoys would be sent to China to perform etiquette every year. But if there was any respect, it would be inaccurate. And the emperor's words were obviously putting his ideas on North Korea, but I just don't know what he was going to do? (Note 1)

The emperor said with a smile, "I know that Li Xi's father's name is Li Jingying. He is a talented young man and handsome. His son is the king of the country. What should he do as a father? Is it the emperor in North Korea that wants to have a Supreme Emperor? In this matter, Li Xi is still young and has a vassal state of Korea. Most of them are fools who do not study and do not understand history. Once the main line falls behind, wouldn't it hurt the hearts of the Korean kings of all generations to respect my Qing Dynasty as a son serving his father? I cannot let him appear in such a thing. So I want to let Zhu Hongzhang send troops out of the country and take Li Jingying to my Qing Dynasty for a trip. First, I will take Li Jingying to my Qing Dynasty under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. As for domestic affairs, I have also heard that there is a person named Li Mingyun in North Korea who is entangled in mobs and kills officials and seizes grain, but he will stop his troops and disband on February 23rd and return to his hometown?"

This incident did happen. On February 18, the 12th year of Xianfeng, Li Mingyun was a native of Jinzhou Prefecture in Qingshangdao. He served as the administrator of the Li Dynasty. At that time, the Li Dynasty was corrupt officials everywhere and used a ill-fighting method to harm the people. This ill-fighting method was to embezzle the taxes paid by the people, and then counted them as unpaid and re-collected. Unable to bear it, Li Mingyun led people to revolt. More than 3,000 people wrapped their heads in white towels, carried bamboo guns and sticks, rushed into the official family, killed Bai Lexin, the chief of Jinzhou Prefecture, and killed several officials' schools, and attacked all the rich people in each village. They automatically disbanded on February 23 and returned home.

"Your Majesty, as I know, Li Mingyun led his troops to rebel, although the crime was unforgivable, the Li Dynasty had also calmed down the public's grievances and executed Liu Jichun, Jin Shouwan, Li Guicai and others who took the lead. Li Mingyun, the head of the army, was also convicted and beheaded. It seems that it is not appropriate for our country's superiors to criticize the ministers of the vassal state for this?"

"I am not going to blame the Li Dynasty for its ineffective handling of this matter. Our nine states and tens of nations in the heavens, and billions of nations, how can I have so much spare time to deal with their affairs?"

"Then, what the emperor said?"

"I did this just to prevent the problem from escalating, so as to prevent the Li Dynasty from falling into the country, and to have resentment against the sect leader. First, let Zhu Hongzhang and Hu Damao lead the Hungry Tiger Camp north to the customs, inspect North Korea, and protect Li Xi ascended the throne, and then bring Li back to my Qing Dynasty."

"The emperor expected that the enemy's opportunity would be the first, and the wise and bright. But I think that Li Xi was young and easy to be controlled by a powerful minister. My sect leader of the Celestial Dynasty always had to prepare for the future."

"Well, Luo Bingzhang's words are in my heart. But there is no need to worry about this beforehand. Let's talk about it when I take the name of Li Shiying back to China."

Wen Xiang, Yi and others hated Luo Bingzhang in their hearts. The emperor's intention was very clear, and he wanted to take this opportunity to get involved in the internal affairs of North Korea. The Qing Dynasty was in the position of sect leader. The emperor suddenly had such a thought and was about to persuade his subordinates, but he ignored the Qing Dynasty's argument and agreed. In the future, he would not be afraid of the historical writings as iron, and he could not escape the punishment of the Legalists?

Seeing the monarch and ministers singing and reconciling, Yi couldn't help but step forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate. Since Emperor Shengzu Ren, the country of Korea has been respectful to our Celestial Dynasty, and now..."

"What are you now? What do you want to say?" the emperor glared at him, "Do you want to say that I have the intention to attack Guo?"

"I don't dare."

"I don't know you dare." The emperor rolled his eyes and glanced at the corner of his lips. "The country of Korea, from the time of Zhu Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, has always been a vassal; cultural heritage is only kimchi. Do you think I am willing to take care of such an uncivilized country? I just saw that the people of North Korea were exploited by corrupt officials and cruel officials for many years and were not verified. Then I sent heavenly soldiers to relieve the people. By the way, I also carefully swept the vast amount of decadent aura of North Korea and eliminated it. Do you believe it? Wherever Zhu Hongzhang led his troops, he must have eaten a pot of slurry to welcome the royal army?"

He said, "When the people in North Korea are at peace and the state affairs are settled, our soldiers in the Celestial Empire can also make the Northeast more natural barrier out of thin air. Do you think this is not a blessing for my Celestial Empire and the people in the three northeastern provinces?"

Yi and others were stunned, but never expected that he could tell such a set of fallacies. He was determined to distinguish a few words, fearing the previous love, but he did not dare.

The emperor ascended the throne for many years and his reputation increased day by day. His power broke out to the peak due to the Sino-Russian War. Many times, no opposition voices were allowed to appear. The Military Affairs Office was not solely a place where the government decrees were praised and the government decrees were out, but rather a government office that inherited the imperial edict and wrote the imperial edict.

The emperor thought to himself: Sending Zhu Hongzhang to lead troops to the court and seize Li should use his son as the king and control the national affairs from the side. This is just the first step. What methods should be used next for the next step? There is no need to consider too much for the time being, but there is a standard that cannot be forgotten: North Korea cannot be allowed to exist in the world. It should not only be a vassal state of China, but also be turned into a part of our Qing Dynasty, so that it will not have the opportunity to do such a bastard of betrayal of betrayal of the Lord.

After thinking about it, I felt that the two people sent this time were inappropriate. Zhu Hongzhang and Hu Damao were loyal to each other, but if we talked about the ruthless means, we could completely extinguish the possible opposition voices in North Korea, and we were not a good candidate.

After dinner, it was still bright. The emperor put down his memorial and suddenly became childish. He walked out of Danbo Jingcheng Hall, turned around and walked towards Ruyizhou. Not far from Ruyizhou was Yang Guiren's bedroom. She was sitting cross-legged on the soft kang, coaxing the little ninth prince to speak.

Zai is eight months old and just learned to turn over and crawl. He is very energetic all day long. The nanny and the nurse cannot take care of him. He will definitely cause trouble. Yesterday, the child was crawling around on the soft kang. His mother and the eunuch in the palace did not pay attention. He fell on the ground with a green onion on the kang and cried loudly!

The emperor was in the empress's harem, listening to the crying sounds, and sent someone to ask, and then he knew what was going on. The empress didn't realize anything. The emperor liked children by nature and felt so distressed. He hurried over from the empress's harem and saw that the poor little kid had a big blood bag on his forehead, which looked like a horn on his head.

Today, the emperor had finished his political discussions, and the emperor remembered the child again, and did not take the eunuchs beside him. He only led Jingyu Anbu as a car around the path of Huajian and went all the way to her palace.

Yang Guiren was talking to the nurse. When he heard the summons, he hurriedly stood up to greet him, "I'm so proud to see the emperor."

"Get up. I'll see the child, is it better?" The emperor stepped in, and Zaizi on the bed was playing with the tangram. Hearing the sound, he looked up and looked down, lowered his head as if nothing had happened, and started playing with it.

Jingyu squatted at the ******, helped him take off the soap boots on his feet, and the man crossed his knees and sat in front of his son. Zai Li was so handsome, with a round face, fair skin, and in June, he was wearing only a small silk bag, revealing the small bird between his legs. He was really a baby that people couldn't love enough!

The emperor reached out and snatched the jigsaw puzzle from the child, "I won't let you play with it." He then gathered all the templates scattered on the kang and put them in his palm, "I won't let you play with these."

Zai was stunned for a moment, his mouth sagged, and he was about to cry, "Okay, I'll call you Ama, I'll play with you, how about it?"

"Gum!" Zai looked around and looked around, but he couldn't get any help at all. The child felt wronged and burst into tears.

Jingyu and Yang Guiren stood aside, one was angry and the other looked at the father and son in a funny way. Yang Guiren had never seen her husband look like a child like this. Xiang Jingyu approached a little, "Miss Li, Emperor, is this?"

Jingyu's eyes circulated and he chuckled, "He is like this. He likes children the most, especially those of the Ninth Prince, who are under the age of one year. The noble master doesn't know that the princes and princesses in the palace were doting like this when they were young. But when they were a little older, they could see their distantness."

The emperor ignored the two girls' words, picked up their son, hugged them skillfully in their arms, and whispered, "Are you still crying? Ahma sings a song for you, and then stop crying, oh?"

The child ignored it and whimpered. The emperor shook his arm and hummed, "Little Swallow, wearing flower clothes, comes here every spring. I asked Swallow why you came. Swallow said, spring here is the most beautiful!"

The tune he hummed was unheard of. Not only did Yang Guiren and Jingyu glared at each other, but the child in his arms stopped crying involuntarily. His black eyes were covered with tears, staring at the man, "Little Swallow, wearing flower clothes," the tune suddenly stopped, and he lowered his head and smiled, "Little Swallow is wearing flower clothes?"

The child was so funny that he burst out laughing.

The father and son laughed, and the time was fast, and Zai was not afraid of being alive. He quickly moved his small body on the bed, crawling back and forth, and turned around and laughed from time to time. It was not until the hour of You that Yang Guiren came over and picked up the child, "Your Majesty, you are tired too, why not let the servant carry the child down?"

"Ah! Ah!" Zai Li shouted loudly, leaning out of his mother's arms and stretching his arms out, as if he wanted his father to hug him.

"It's not too urgent. I'll come here one time, and I'll play with the child for a while." The emperor did not disappoint the child, and snatched the child back. "Are you willing to let Ama care about you?" He whispered to the little baby, with a loving look on his face.

This time the child became happy, and opened his mouth with only two small teeth the size of mung beans and giggled.

After teasing with the child for a long time, Zai Shi yawned outside, and looked like she was tired of playing. "Ah, Prince Ninth is tired." Jingyu said, "Your Majesty, why not take him out." As he said that, he reached out to pick him up. This time, Zai Shi did not refuse, picked her up in a daze, sent her outside, and handed it to the nurse and the nanny to carry it out.

The emperor also stretched his waist, laying down crookedly on the soft kang, stretching out his hand, "Hui'er,"

"Hui'er is here." Yang Guiren whispered to her husband, agreed with a pink face and walked to him, "Your Majesty, are you... you need a servant to serve him today?"

The emperor bent her slantedly, "Hui'er, you have given birth to a good prince for me! Zai's child is quite cute!"

"Yi'er is a dragon species in the Tian family, so it's naturally different from someone else."

"When you gave birth last year, I was not in Beijing, so I felt very sad, right?"

"The emperor worked hard for state affairs, and then ignored the honor of Wancheng, and went to the bitter and cold place outside the pass to lead troops to fight against the enemy. The emperor is really hard, and this hard work of a slave is nothing."

The emperor picked up her round and moist chin and looked at her, "Well, my Hui'er is so beautiful. Come on, come on the kang."

"Your Majesty, it's still dawn? Wait until the night, will I serve the emperor?"

"What are you afraid of? They are all rootless slaves." He took her hand and let her lie in his arms. The empty hand slid into the cool and breathable shirt. He held the snow-white and plump bulge, lowered his head and kissed her lips hard. He vomited lightly and started a mouth fight with her.

Note 1: There is an argument that the biological mother of Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, was a man of ***, and had no name, only surname - 未, which is a different character, pronounced Gong. She was a concubine of Emperor Shun of Yuan, and later took away Zhu Yuanzhang and gave birth to Zhu Di. Therefore, Zhu Di was happy to have a Korean-style dish throughout his life, especially kimchi.

This is not fictional, and there are quite a lot of records in the records of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.
