The most talked about in the alleys in the capital these days is the matter of His Majesty the Emperor’s arrival in the capital.

Putting aside the grand pomp of the welcomed carriage itself, the affinity of His Majesty the Emperor alone is enough to make the people keep talking and joking.

"Have you heard that? His Majesty the Emperor sat in the carriage and waved to us."

"Really and false? In this way, have you seen the true appearance of His Majesty the Emperor?"

"That's not, let me tell you, His Majesty the Emperor is really a true dragon and phoenix. Just a glance, I'm going to die."

"The dragon and phoenix posture, aren't you talking nonsense? His Majesty the Emperor is the true dragon emperor. Which true dragon emperor did you see is not the dragon and phoenix posture?"

"That's true, but His Majesty the Emperor is really majestic. His aura is really unmatched by others."

"I heard that Dang Xizi is the grandson of the current Wanli Emperor."

"Emperor Wanlixian?"

"That's right, Your Majesty Wanli is a wise and heroic ruler who has been in a prosperous era. His descendants will not be bad."

"You still want to say this. When I was promoting the Northern Expedition with my own strength and drove the Tartars outside the pass to drink cold wind, I am afraid that only Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, can compete with such achievements."

"Ahem, it can't be said that it was His Majesty's own strength. After all, the soldiers were bleeding. If the soldiers had not fought bloodyly, the Ming Dynasty would not have been able to reach this day."

Before dinner, neighbors in an alley gathered together, chatting around and spending time before dinner.

When their mother shouted for dinner, they stood up and patted the dust stained on their butts, and went home.

Life seems to have a lot of colors all of a sudden.

At the same time, Zhu Youlang and Zheng Chenggong and his ministers were also chatting about themselves in the East Warm Pavilion of Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City.

"Your Majesty, the character of a dog son is not suitable for leading troops to fight. I hope he can go to the Ministry of Rites to do things, and I hope your Majesty will be grateful."

Zhu Youlang slightly clasped his fingers and thought carefully about Zheng Chenggong's words.

As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Zheng Chenggong couldn't wait to enter the palace to meet the saint. He was talking about his son's future, which was really interesting.

Moreover, judging from Zheng Chenggong's attitude, he doesn't really want his son to inherit and lead the troops alone.

Ministry of Rites, this is a thorough way to draw a clear line from the military.

It seems that Zheng Chenggong intends to take the initiative to hand over some of the military power in exchange for Zhu Youlang's peace of mind.

Zhu Youlang actually did not mean to seize Zheng Chenggong's military power. It was just that Zheng Chenggong took the initiative to mention it, which was better than he would in the future.

It is always so easy and comfortable to get along with smart people. You don’t need to come forward at all, and the other party can get things done and do it to your heart.

I have to say that the Zheng father and son made the greatest contribution in this Northern Expedition, and conquering Jingji can be regarded as the contribution of Tongtian.

However, Zheng Chenggong did not take the blame for his contributions, but instead had to take the initiative to hand over military power. This kind of enlightenment was not much better than that of Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty.

It can be seen that Zheng Chenggong planned to train Zheng Jing in the path of civil officials.

Zhu Youlang is not surprised by this.

After all, Zheng Chenggong was a student of the Imperial College in Nanjing back then, and he knew more about the Confucian and Taoist systems and the civil service system than anyone else.

If we look at the essence through the problem, Zheng Chenggong understood that in the peaceful years, the status of civil servants was far higher than that of military generals.

Now these meritorious officials can hold high positions by virtue of their merits. But after their death, will their descendants be able to do so?

The answer is certainly no.

Instead of waiting until then, the military power will be cut and the military power will be ruined, it is better to just take the initiative to hand over the military power.

In this way, both sides will be happy and there will be no embarrassment at all.

Moreover, civil officials have the advantages of civil officials. With Zheng Jing’s qualifications, as long as you are willing to work hard to study hard, you should have the opportunity to be in a high position.

I dare not say whether Zhu Youlang can enter the cabinet, but it should not be a big problem to be a member of the Nine Ministers of the Big and Big.

Now that Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng and others have not yet returned to the court, Zheng Chenggong said at this time point, which is indeed a step ahead.

Zhu Youlang thought about it carefully and felt that this was a wonderful step.

No matter what others do, Zheng Chenggong does it first, and in Zhu Youlang's mind, his image will be better.

People all had preconceived ideas. Even afterwards, Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng and others followed suit and sent their nephews to the court to become officials, at most they could only be considered following the trend of Zheng Chenggong.

Wonderful, really wonderful.

"I feel so relieved that King Zhong has such an idea."

Zhu Youlang is also an illiterate person who doesn’t say secret words, but directly expresses his attitude.

"It's just that Prince Zhong is a noble relative after all. Will he feel a little wronged when he goes to the Ministry of Rites to take office?"

"Your Majesty, young people should let them train more. The dog son is still much worse in his ability to be an official, and I am still worried that he will not be able to match his position."

Haha, this Zheng Chenggong is really interesting. Even De is not worthy of his position.

In fact, Zheng’s ability of the Jinglun is certain enough, but the only thing that is poor is some experience.

But experience can be accumulated. As long as Zheng Jing is interested, Zhu Youlang thinks that it will be enough to practice at most half a year.

"Your Majesty should not be worried about this. I will continue to give orders to the officials of the Rites Department to take care of him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Zheng Chenggong quickly bowed and thanked.

In fact, there is no need to say much about Zhu Youlang. Who would not sell his face as a grand prince?

As long as Zheng Jing himself is not showing too much, there should be no big problem.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans for Liaodong?"

Seeing that Zheng Jing's incident was over, Zheng Chenggong suddenly changed his mind.

"Liaodong..."

Zhu Youlang sighed, "I have been considering the issue of Liaodong on the way to the capital. I think the issue of Liaodong may be more complicated than I imagined."

Zhu Youlang paused for a moment and then continued: "Although the Donglu abandoned the capital and retreated from the gates, the main force was not damaged. If I really wanted to attack, I would probably have to bear a lot of pressure."

Zhu Youlang said in a harmonious voice: "Since ancient times, Liaodong has been difficult to attack. I thought about it carefully, and there are only two reasons. One is that the land is wide and the population is sparse, and the other is that the climate is harsh."

"If the land is vast and the population is sparse, we need to mobilize troops or even the people from the pass. The army is to garrison, and the people are to reclaim wasteland to grow food. After all, it is impossible to rely entirely on the court to allocate food. It is imperative for the Liaodong military reclamation."

"And this cannot be accomplished in a short period of time, at least several years. Unless the court is confident that it can achieve its contribution in one battle, it will be the end of Sarhu."

When it comes to Sarhu, it can be said that it is a pain in Zhu Youlang's heart.

He clearly has an absolute advantage, but he loses. How can he reason about this?
