Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 17: My Emperor Shengming!

Carrying heavy responsibilities, Shen Lian is full of energy!

Jin Yiwei can only assist in a thorough investigation of the court officials, and the main thing is to look at the East Factory.

"Cao Zhengchun listened to the order, I want you to revive the East Factory in the shortest possible time!"

With that said, Zhu Houzhao kept a booklet in Cao Zhengchun's arms.

"My minister, Cao Zhengchun, lead the order!"

Cao Zhengchun fell to his knees and felt a little pressure at the same time.

Fortunately, the foundation of Dongchang is still stable.

As long as the emperor wants, Cao Zhengchun will try his best to complete it.

"Your Majesty, please put it down, I will give a satisfactory explanation to the tutor within a month!"

"Okay, a month later, I will personally review Jinyiwei!"

Hearing these words, Shen Lian clasped his fists with both hands: "I will play your majesty, and this minister also asks your majesty to review the Jinyiwei in a month!"

"Very good!" Zhu Houzhao nodded, expressing his satisfaction.

The task of Shen Lian and Cao Zhengchun was to expand Jinyiwei.

Cao Zhengchun was familiar with the entire inner court, and at the same time had a lot of connections, so he could mobilize manpower from the capital at any time to replenish it and fill it with the people of Jinyiwei in the capital.

After Jinyiwei and Dongchang develop and grow, they will be transferred back to the three major camps.

But in fact, Zhu Houzhao is still planning to take over the capital camp in the expansion of Dongchang and Jinyiwei's colleagues.

The so-called power comes from the barrel of a gun. If you want to monopolize the power, if you want not to be shackled at will, you can only hold military power.

People's lives are predestined by God, but luck can come and go from time to time, especially when it comes to power, if it's all in your own hands, how wonderful it would be?

Anyone does!

This is true for ordinary people, cabinet ministers, and even more so for emperors!

In this life, since you have become the emperor, you will be everything that an ancient emperor should have, and rights are the most important of them.

......

Jiayuguan, an important town in the northwest.

Wang Shouren and Qian Ning led three thousand battalions and five army camps to pursue the Tartars in the mountains, next door, deserts, and more than 300 li in depth.

In this battle, the might of the Daming Empire was displayed, and the thirteen affiliated countries of Daming were able to see the power of Daming.

In less than three days, the Thirteen Kingdoms affiliated to the Ming Dynasty had already collected twice the original annual tribute, and were ready to go to the Forbidden City at Xingye.

At this time, the Forbidden City.

Inside the Xuanzheng Palace.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair and carefully read the tribute gift list sent by the dependent countries.

Under the jade steps, the civil and military officials cried with joy.

Da Ming Xiongzhu, although a young man, has spread his wings and will lead them to a higher base in the future.

In the Xuanzheng Hall, in the center of the main hall of the cabinet's chief assistant Liu Shijian, he handed over to Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde: "Your Majesty, there are a total of 12 subordinate countries that pay taxes to me this time. Besides that, other countries other than the Korean state. All bow down to me, Daming, and pay tribute as soon as possible."

"Moreover, the annual tribute paid by these twelve countries has doubled on the original basis, which seems to be very sincere."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help nodding slightly, and a slight smile appeared on his cheeks, but he was still very calm, with the ecstasy of the ministers.

"Are all the twelve subject nations in this booklet?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although Liu Jian is old, his voice is indeed particularly loud.

When he was sure to say yes, everyone was surprised. You know, how did they treat them in the past few years?

Under the jade steps, the twelve foreign envoys were trembling and bowed their heads, and even the corner of their eyes did not dare to look at the emperor on the jade steps.

Zhu Houzhao fixed his eyes on these foreign ministers, placed the gift list on the table, and snorted coldly: "You are just a bunch of little people who see the wind and steer the rudder, you think that you will pay me twice the annual tribute. Can I forgive you?"

As soon as the voice fell, all the foreign ministers present knelt down in panic, and bowed down and said: "His Majesty the Emperor, please atone for our sins, we are also forced to wait, and have unspeakable difficulties!"

"Just because of the bandits and locust plagues in the frontier these years, this tax is also pitiful, and I hope Your Majesty will atone!"

"In the future, we will never dare to delay in arrears again!"

On the dragon chair, Zhu Houzhao's eyes narrowed slightly. He had already heard about bandits in the frontier.

But now these people are using it on themselves, it's just an excuse.

However, these kingdoms, Zhu Houzhao, did not want to destroy them one by one, and they will still be of great use in the future for these dependent countries.

"For the sake of you being the first offender, I can give you a chance to go back and tell your lord that if you are half a step late in the annual tribute payment, be careful that you step on the door of the country!"

"This time, the Tatar tribe was destroyed. After you go back, you can report to the king."

"According to the order!"

The foreign envoy responded tremblingly, and hurriedly bowed and exited from the Golden Palace.

In their hearts, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really terrible! This decisive ingenuity seems to kill them at any time.

Even if they stayed in the Golden Palace for a while, they felt that there were thousands of boulders pressing on their hearts, making them not dare to breathe at all.

Inside the palace, after Zhu Hou gave the order, Li Dongyang, the second assistant of the cabinet, slowly walked out of the court class: "My emperor is holy!"

As soon as these words came out, it attracted a hundred civil and military officials of the whole dynasty, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com looked at Li Dongyang in surprise.

Under the eyes of everyone, Li Dongyang slowly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the power of the sky, shocking Huanyu, the wonderful plan can be like my Daming Jiangshan forever."

"My Emperor Shengming!"

"My Emperor Shengming!"

When Li Dongyang said these words, all the court officials nodded in approval, ready to agree.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao showed a long-lost smile on his face, staring at Li Dongyang intently.

"Li Ge Lao praised it highly. In my opinion, Ge Lao is the most shrewd one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty."

As soon as the emperor spoke, Li Dongyang had a black line on his face, and he didn't know whether the emperor was telling the truth or telling the truth.

I have always worked honestly, where did the shrewdness come from?

Just when Li Dongyang was bewildered, Zhu Houzhao's slightly smiling cheeks instantly turned dark.

Zhu Houzhao looked at everyone below the hall with stern eyes, and said solemnly, "Today, I want to tell you something!"

"I want to be a wise ruler of the world, and what I need is a group of worthy ministers who rule the world, not those who slack off!"

"Li Dongyang!"

"The minister is here!"

"Just now, you were flattering and flattering. Although you were well-intentioned, you obviously didn't fulfill your responsibilities as a worthy minister. I fined you half a year's salary to set an example!"

"Chen, thank Lord Longen!"

Li Dongyang knelt down and bowed.

The words of the Son of Heaven seem to be addressed to one person, but they are actually addressed to everyone present, and are also a warning to them.

Although Li Dongyang and Liu Jian are in the cabinet, they have been fighting openly and secretly for the position of the first assistant in recent years.

He wants to be a holy king, and he doesn't need to be a slacker at all.
