I am the king of the dead

This case was handled so quickly that Lu Zhong was not even required to investigate it, because it was always under the emperor's control.

After all, the Empress Dowager Sun knew the temper of the evil emperor. If she was really a monster, the emperor would really dare to kill people, so the Empress Dowager Sun did not dare to toss about any moths.

When others accuse you of rebellion, you'd better have the strength to rebel, so that no one will accuse you of rebellion.

If you have nothing to do, play a hand of idle chess, if you can succeed, it is not a big deal.

Zhu Qiyu commented on the memorial. This summer, the heavy rain and flood along the Yellow River caused the embankment of the Bianliang section to almost burst. When Shi Pu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was still there, the embankment built withstood the test of a hundred years of floods. After all, he failed to succeed.

The Ministry of Industry heard that Yin was invited to overhaul the dams along the river, and just after entering Beijing, Nianfu, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, who was in the Shijing Factory, took the initiative to invite Ying to supervise the work. .

Zhu Zhan, the king of Xiang, made a statement about the recent situation of Wanghua Tatar. Wool, tribute city, household registration, pasture division, official road and post road, establishment of official factory, official shop, etc. The prairie was finally quieter.In the memorial, Zhu Zhanqian also expressed his concern that the Han court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was divided into three, Tatar, Wuliangha, and Wala, and there were many diehards who opposed the kingship of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Ara Zhiyuan's conspiracy allowed Daming to eliminate some of the diehards, but the grassland is so big and there are so many dissatisfied people, where did these people go?

Zhu Qiyu looked at Kanyutu. He knew where these diehards had gone, and they all went to Liaodong.

Fan Guang expressed his concern about Liaodong Jianzhou women straight in several memorials, and Daming's pier Yuanhou was also conducting a carpet-like investigation of Nuer Gandusi.

After the intermission period of the war in Ming Dynasty, the next place to use troops was Liaodong. Dong Shan and Li Man lived there. They dared to disobey Wang Hua after 14 years of orthodoxy, brazenly rebelled, and robbed the Liaodong capital of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Qiyu never forgot, but before The time is not enough, and now the strength of Jiannu Nuzhen is growing rapidly, Zhu Qiyu is curious, who will win the battle against Daming at its peak.

The thirteen prefectures of Cochin and the government of Junguo reported at the same time that this year Cochin has a bumper harvest of grain. Zhu Qiyu approved that the officials of Cochin should make a decision based on inspections. They should actually go to the fields to see the specific scale and number of people in the farm. And other issues, practical and practical reports, rather than meritorious deeds, I am very happy.

Zhu Qiyu's wording was extremely severe, and he gave solid admonitions, because the reports of the Jiaozhi officials did not seek truth from facts, but false reports, concealed reports, and false reports in exchange for promotion. .

The governors of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fengyang, Yingtianfu, and Songjiang prefectures jointly signed a petition to relocate people to Jilong Island for Changzhi. After several developments by exiles, Jilong Island has initially had a living space. Now it's time to pick peaches , Three provinces and two governments can't wait.

The three provinces and the two governments have nothing to do with the people-robbing war that Nianfu waged in Huguang. They moved to Jilong Island. They would rather send them to Jilong Island than let Huguang take advantage of it for nothing.

Zhu Qiyu flipped through the yellow posts of the scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion, and then Yu Qian's comments. Zhu approved the memorial, which means that Jilong Island is no longer a place of exile, and Shaanxi's commanding Liu Jing's family is the last A group of family members exiled to Jilong Island.

"Your Majesty, something has happened." A little yellow man ran in in a panic and said out of breath, "Your Majesty, Your Highness King Xiang..."

Zhu Qiyu stood up abruptly, and said sharply, "What's wrong with Uncle Huang?"

"The eldest son of His Royal Highness King Xiang is about to die." Panting heavily, Xiao Huangmen finally finished his sentence. It wasn't that something happened to Zhu Zhanqian, it was Zhu Zhanqian who was raising the outer room and the outer room outside the palace. The eldest son Zhu Qiyong died in the woman's belly.

Xing'an flicked his sleeves, and reprimanded sharply: "Speaking out of breath! Do it again next time, I'll pull out your tongue!"

Only then did Zhu Qiyu sit still and said, "We were shocked. The last time the emperor suffered from malaria in Guizhou, but it really made us panic for a month."

In fact, this can't be blamed on Zhu Qiyong's ignorance of restraint, this Prince Xiang's Mansion is now more terrifying than that Pansi Cave.

Oiran from Japan, Gao Liji from North Korea, Li Zhuji from Jiaozhi, Hailar from the grassland, and even a princess from the Ottoman Kingdom were all sent to Prince Xiang’s mansion. Beauties from all corners of the world gathered together to compete for beauty. , that scene is scary even thinking about it.

Zhu Zhanqian was not in the capital, and Zhu Qiyong enjoyed all of these. Originally, Zhu Qiyong was a little anxious, but seeing so many pink skeletons, didn't something happen suddenly?

Soon Lu Zhong brought the assistant of Beizhen Fusi to Xiangwang Mansion, and not long after, Lu Zhong returned to the imperial study with a complicated expression, and bowed his head to report: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my son took the medicine of tiger wolf and drank the medicine of tiger and wolf again. Ordering wine, on the spur of the moment, just... I couldn't stand it."

Zhu Qiyu brought over the documents written by Wu Zuo for the autopsy, looked at it for a while, and could only shake his head and said: "Just say that he died of a sudden illness, and let those who know the truth stop talking nonsense. The emperor's uncle's face is involved, and the concubine with children is still here. In Prince Xiang's Mansion, concubines without heirs will all be sent to Baiyi Nunnery."

"Then the obituary for His Royal Highness King Xiang also said that he died of a sudden illness?" Xing'an asked hesitantly, it was related to the friendship of the clan, so of course Xing'an had to ask for instructions.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "Let's write it truthfully. It's Prince Xiang's Mansion. The emperor will know about it one day. Let the emperor return to Beijing to send him off. It just so happens that the matter of the kingship of the Tartars has come to an end."

Xing'an took the order and left.

Zhu Zhanqian, who is far away in Daningwei, is dealing with Luo Bingzhong's various affairs in Daningwei, especially the resettlement of Wuliangha's three departments. They are entering the finishing work, and the division of pastures has been completely settled.

"As entrusted by Your Majesty, this mess has finally been dealt with. It is more tiring than before in Guizhou." Zhu Zhanqian leaned on the soft rattan chair and stretched his waist. The current Xiangwang Zhu Zhanqian , is no longer the fat emperor uncle who was in Xiangyang back then. He has been working for Daming for many years. Now he looks extraordinarily capable and looks like a gentleman.

Luo Bingzhong poured a cup of salt for Zhu Zhanqian and said with a smile: "That is, it means that His Highness has handled it well. It may not be possible to change someone."

Zhu Zhanqian sneered and said, "Fart."

Luo Bingzhong would not let the words fall to the ground, and replied: "It is a brilliant summary."

After the Commander informed the report, he walked into the room. Luo Bingzhong took the pond newspaper from the Commander, opened it, looked at it, and said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, the eldest son is gone."

Zhu Zhanqian was taken aback for a moment, then took the newspaper with a frown, read it several times, rubbed his eyes again, and said with twitching corners of his mouth, "Yes...Yong'er is gone."

Zhu Zhanqian seemed calm, but his hands were shaking all the time, and occasionally the corners of his eyes would twitch. Zhu Qiyong's death did not involve any conspiracy.

Few people can understand the sadness of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away. He grabbed the back of the chair vigorously with his right hand, trying to prop himself up, but he couldn't stand up, and then he gave up standing up, just like that Lean back in the chair.

"Your Highness?" Luo Bingzhong asked tentatively, not knowing how to comfort him.

Zhu Zhanqian waved his hand, and said tremblingly, "Let Gu Gu take it easy, it's Yonger who left, right?"

Luo Bingzhong said in a low voice: "Yes, Your Highness, my condolences."

Zhu Zhanqian rubbed his hands vigorously on his face a few times, and said to Luo Bingzhong: "This kid, when we left the capital, I asked you to teach him a lesson, and told him not to cause trouble in the capital. Right, I was thinking at the time, with a knife on Sezi’s head, he shouldn’t be around those goblins all day long, hollowing out himself, but I thought about it again, you said, he’s such a big man Now, it’s not a child anymore, so don’t you know? I have to tell him everything?”

"Tell me why he just left like that."

Luo Bingzhong touched his waist with his hand, and said in a low voice: "Didn't your Majesty reward so many goblins?"

"Nonsense!" Zhu Zhanqian slammed the table and said angrily: "Luo Bingzhong, don't take Gu with you when you are looking for death! What are you talking about? If you go forward to find love like this, will you have to find love until Gu Gu leaves Xiangyang privately?" The palace ran back to the capital? Is it all right if you don’t go back to the capital alone? Do you have to find love until the Nanya government arrogates the government and make trouble? Do you have to find love until King Ji Li loses in Tumu Castle?"

"Why don't you say it's my grandpa's fault, my grandpa didn't exterminate the Oirats, that's why Tumubao Tianchang happened?"

"In vain you have been with Gu for so many years, judging the problem is still so upside down, right from wrong, he has played himself out, so it's your fault that His Majesty gave him the conditions to play, right? What kind of brain do you have to think about things like this?"

Luo Bingzhong was scolded, but he could only say in a low voice: "Your Highness is brilliant."

"Some people think that their child is the best. It is absolutely right. It is others who are wrong. It is His Highness who makes the distinction clearly. I am confused."

After Zhu Zhanqian lost his temper, the depression in his heart dissipated a little, and he shook his head and said, "The child swings the sledgehammer, Yonger doesn't have the virtue to keep these blessings."

Chapter 952 Queen of Ceylon

Zhu Zhanqian knew that the purpose of Luo Bingzhong's words was not that Luo Bingzhong was thinking about the miraculous card, but that he opened his mouth to save Zhu Zhanqian from thinking wildly when he was alone.

His Majesty bestowed the beauties to reassure the hearts of princes from all over the world, and also to express the friendship of relatives. This is a reward and a blessing, and it is the only one in the whole Ming Dynasty. Whose house has so many beauties from all over the world.

If Zhu Zhanqian's words were harsher, with these beauties in his hands, why didn't he immediately win?As a result, I gave it to Zhu Qiyong within a few years, and then I did it, and died?

The Jiangshan Sheji that Zhu Qizhen took over from the former emperor was the Ming Dynasty that experienced the rule of benevolence and Xuan. They didn't even dare to think that if they could win against Daming in Tumubao, how could this country be in the hands of Zhu Qizhen, even if there were problems everywhere, and there were problems everywhere, but it was in the hands of His Majesty, but it was so strong?

This means that morality is not coordinated.

Zhu Zhanqian looked at the autopsy test book written by Wu, and said helplessly: "How dare he, how dare he, he took the medicine of tiger and wolf and drank alcohol. Dare to eat like this?"

Zhu Zhanqian was naturally sad when the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man, but if he said that because of Zhu Qiyong's death, he was so sad that he couldn't help himself, or even lost his mind and went crazy, and put the blame on the emperor of Ming Dynasty, it would not be for that reason.

How old is Zhu Qiyong, and he is not a child. He chose the path by himself and finished it by himself, no wonder others.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Zhanqian began to prepare for his return to Beijing. When the August wind brought a violent storm to the capital, Zhu Zhanqian returned to the capital. Funeral matters.

There is no impenetrable wall in this world, and some people still know the cause of Zhu Qiyong's death. Even if it is rumored that he is crazy, in terms of the court's characterization, he still died of a sudden illness. This is to protect King Xiang's face.

After Zhu Qiyong was buried, Zhu Zhanqian did not return to Daningwei, but stayed in Prince Xiang's mansion.

However, if King Xiang is in the capital, His Majesty must leave the capital, either personally, or on a southern tour. Sure enough, not long after, the court began to discuss Jingtai's 14-year southern tour. The journey of this southern tour not only requires If you go to Hangzhou, you still have to go to Guangzhou Mansion, and you have to go to Jiaozhijiao Prefecture (so Shenglong Mansion). This is what some people say.

This trip will take at least two years. The courtiers just grind their teeth with His Majesty just for this journey. It will only take half a year to go. This trip will last for two or three years. The crown prince is still young. How about the courtiers? Will you agree?

In the 12th year of Jingtai, it was not too early to discuss the matter of the 14-year southern tour. His Majesty the Emperor’s southern tour was far away, and the boats and cars were exhausting, and the reception along the way was a big problem. In the third year of Jingtai, His Majesty went to Nanya to counter the rebellion. Jingtai In seven years, His Majesty went on a tour to the South to solve the Winter Order, and it took nearly half a year to arrange it. This time, it was neither the Winter Order nor a personal conquest to suppress the rebellion. Naturally, preparations had to be made in advance.

It is no small matter for the emperor to go on tour.

For example, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty patrolled and patrolled, and the country was handed over to others.

This southern inspection is a big matter, Zhu Qiyu is not in a hurry, let the courtiers discuss it carefully.

The capital was arguing about whether to go to Guangzhou for the southern tour, and above the Western Ocean, the Daming Navy, which set off from the old port, came to Ceylon, and the one standing in front of it was Chen Shouyan, the old local snake in the old port.

This Chen Shouyan has transformed from a vanguard against the Ming Dynasty and a legacy of Zhang Shicheng, King of Wu, to a loyal dog of the Ming Dynasty. The King of Ceylon can only treat Chen Shouyan as a guest of honor. It became an overseas feudal town certified by Ming Dynasty.

When the Daming Marine Division arrived in Ceylon, it was the time when the scorching heat was unbearable. The weather was hot and the sea was extremely humid. Even the temptress, Jin Canju, seldom pestered Tang Xing these few days. It was too hot. When I moved, I was covered in sweat.

The sea is blue and the sky is blue, the sea is blue as far as the eye can see, the sea and the sky are the same color, and the coconut trees on the beach are blowing with the sea breeze. After Chen Shouyan's repairs, the port finally has some appearance.

When the Ming Dynasty sailed southward, Chen Lunpo was the largest port in Ceylon. It was very prosperous at first, but in Daming no longer sailed southward. Pirates were everywhere, and the sea route was gradually cut off. Instead, the port gradually declined.

It wasn't until Daming opened the sea again, and the armed merchant ships of Daming came to the West again, and the port was opened again, and it had the prosperous appearance as before.

"Meet the envoy of the kingdom of heaven!" The king of Ceylon, wearing the five-piece gown robe bestowed by Ming Dynasty, knelt on the pier and greeted the envoy's visit to Ceylon.

Tang Xing and Liu Yongcheng didn't bother about King Ceylon's elegant words of Daming that no one could understand. The two small yellow gates specially carried a chair symbolizing Li Binyan. In fact, King Ceylon's etiquette was wrong. , Wuzhang Gunyi is eligible to meet again at the Yingsheng Gate, not at the port.

Of course, it is also possible that the King of Ceylon knew about this matter, but he was afraid of being beaten by the Ming army back then. If there is any doubt, the more submissive will prevail.

With 2000 men, Zheng He overcame the [-] troops led by the lion king Ariel Kunel, captured the king of Ceylon and brought him back to Daming for trial, and then gave him five chapters of clothes, and appointed Xieba Naiye as the king of Ceylon. According to the Notes of Fan Guoyi, nine chapters and five chapters of clothes are given according to relatives and estrangements. For example, North Korea and Ryukyu have nine chapters, Annan and Wa Kingdom have five chapters, and the king of Ceylon is in order of system and Annan Wa country.

Liu Yongcheng turned his body sideways and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has a decree to be flat."

"Huh?" Liu Yongcheng and Tang Xing were stunned, because the King of Ceylon in front of them was actually a beautiful woman. Tang Xing was a relative of the emperor, and Liu Yongcheng was a veteran of the Six Dynasties from the Yongle period to the present. Their vision was extremely high. It looks beautiful to them, and it is.

The Ming people are called white people in the mouths of Nanyang people, because the Ming people are much whiter than them, and the king of Ceylon is not brown, but fair skinned, which is even a little dazzling under the sun.

The king's height was only half a head lower than Tang Xing's.

Xiandouren is a derogatory term that is widely recognized in the Western Regions. It ridicules the height of the local people, and Daming people are generally taller than Nanyang people and Western Regions people. Tang Xing has never seen such a tall woman during his journey.

"You are the king?" Tang Xing frowned, and found that something had gone wrong. They heard the news in the old port before, and the King of Ceylon should be just a bad old man with a strange name.

Tong Shi translated the words, the woman obviously didn't know Chinese, she just babbled a lot, Tong Shi translated carefully.

Several officers discussed with each other, and after confirming that their translation was correct, they said: "There was a conflict between the Lion Kingdom and the White Elephant Kingdom. After Ming's warships no longer appeared on the sea, the White Elephant Kingdom brazenly invaded the territory of the Lion Kingdom. During the more than [-] years of resistance, under the leadership of the saint, the Lion King defeated the White Elephant Kingdom and finally won the victory."

"The lion country is looking forward to the arrival of the Ming warship, just like the dry land is eager for the nectar to come. I welcome the arrival of the great angel with great sincerity and enthusiasm. The five-chapter cloak bestowed by the Ming Dynasty is the lion country that can be the god of war." The holy relic of the White Elephant Kingdom, thanks to Daming, is like being grateful to Brahma."

"The Queen of the Lion Kingdom claims... her name is Xu Shimin."

The Lion Kingdom is the Kingdom of Sinhala, and the White Elephant Kingdom is the Kingdom of Tamil. Both the Lion Kingdom and the White Elephant Kingdom are countries in the land of Ceylon in the context of Ming Dynasty.

After the Ming Dynasty stopped going south, the Tamil Kingdom began to go south and occupied most of Ceylon's territory. Then the Lion Kingdom began to rebel. In the last two months, the White Elephant Kingdom was completely driven out of the sea. This Ceylon Kingdom was still The Lion Kingdom of Ceylon, which was bestowed five chapters of clothes by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Tang Xingli understood the relationship. Judging from the news he received, it seemed that the Timurid Kingdom was bullying the White Elephant Kingdom.

"She said her name was Xu Shimin? Han surname? Xu surname? When we left Beijing, Master Hu didn't mention this?" Tang Xing looked at Liu Yongcheng with a confused face and said, he thought it was some royal secret, but it turned out Liu Yongcheng was also confused.

Liu Yongcheng seriously recalled it for a long time, it was too long ago, Liu Yongcheng said with some doubts: "At the beginning, Young Master Hu was the servant of the Ministry of Rites in the imperial court, and I was also one of the courtiers at that time. I have never heard of the saying of giving a surname."

In fact, both Tang Xing and Liu Yongcheng made a mistake. This Xu Shimin's surname is Xu Shi, not Xu.

This is also a misunderstanding. It is because the four characters Xu Daiyan are included in the imperial decree canonizing the king of Ceylon. Not many people in Ceylon understand Chinese, and even fewer understand this kind of classical Chinese. They think it is the name bestowed by the emperor. Xieba Naiye, the king of the Lion Kingdom of Ceylon, changed his name to Xu Shidaiyan, and then all the descendants of Xieba Naiye took the surname Xu Shi.

"Respectfully invite the envoy to stay here." Xu Shimin led the way. The five-chapter gown was obviously genuine from the Yongle period. Although it was a bit worn out, the stitches were still not something that Ceylon could make.

Fortunately, when they came, Tang Xing and Liu Yongcheng brought a lot of blank imperial edicts, as well as five-chapter gowns for canonization, just to communicate whether the king of Ceylon would like to be canonized.

A twisted melon is not sweet. If the King of Ceylon refuses to be granted the title, it will not be too late to send another 2000 people to bring the King of Ceylon to the capital.

Daming was indeed a heavenly soldier and general at sea, capturing the enemy king alive by [-] to [-] was achieved by Zheng He.

The place where the envoys of the Ming Dynasty stayed was carefully prepared by the Lion Kingdom. In a valley, the house of the Thousand Foot House was not humid, and it was even a bit cool. It was one of the few summer resorts in Ceylon.

When the officials of the Ming Dynasty began to communicate with the officials of Ceylon, Xu Shimin and a handsome man were arguing fiercely in the Ceylon palace with a typical Islamic architectural style and a dome shape.

Xu Shimin was no longer as cute as she was when she was at the port. She pointed at a handsome man with a five-zhang gown, and said sharply: "Sri Jaya, you liar, you promised me that after defeating the Tamils, you will Will marry me, now you want to give your beloved woman, me, to the people of Daming?"

"Not only did you divide part of our heaven to Chen Shouyan, but you also gave me to Daming?"

Chen Lunpo is called the Paradise of the Sea in the local population, which is close to the capital of the Lion Kingdom.

Sri Jaya said helplessly: "Shilan, you are the most beautiful sapphire in Ceylon. Of course I love you. Giving you to Daming is like digging a big hole in my heart. I really love you." Heartache, please calm down, think about it, if we didn’t have the swords and axes that the merchants of Ming Dynasty sold us, would we be able to beat the Tamils? We need to maintain a good relationship with Ming Dynasty.”

"You are the most beautiful woman in the world, and you deserve to see a more beautiful world, but with you by my side, how many people will go crazy for your beauty, I don't have that much power to protect you."

Then Xu Shimin said silently: "What you said makes sense."

Only then did Sri Jaya heaved a sigh of relief. This crazy woman whose mind was full of love finally managed to deceive her with sweet words.

A eunuch came in and said in a low voice: "Queen, lord, just now the Angel of Heaven has received news. Regarding our proposal of marrying the Queen to Son of Heaven, the Angel of Heaven has rejected... saying..."

"What?" Srijaya realized something was wrong.

The eunuch said in a low voice: "The Angel of Heaven said: What are you thinking about?"

Liu Yongcheng didn't know how to be flexible. When he heard the request from Ceylon, he said something much worse than this sentence, to the effect that he wanted to be in the emperor's eyes. Xu Shimin, with his appearance, couldn't even pass the initial test.

Xu Shimin is beautiful, but it's just that he is more beautiful than the natives from Southeast Asia and the West. The eyes of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty are on the lid of the sky.

If Liu Yongcheng and Tang Xing really brought such a woman back, the spittle of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty could drown them both.

Elena, the Roman princess, was so angry and disastrous to the country and the people. After entering the palace, Hu Wei was often scolded. If it wasn't for the claim, Hu Wei would inevitably be impeached.

"Didn't Da Ming even pay attention to Shi Lan's beauty?" Sri Jaya frowned, full of emotion. Those merchant ships from Ming saw Xu Shimin's eyes and wanted to eat them alive.

In fact, it is because Sri Jaya does not go to sea, and even the sows look pretty after a year of floating on the sea.

"What does Daming want?" Xu Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Sri Jaya affectionately, and asked about Daming's request.

The eunuch said in a low voice: "There are thirteen items in total. First, the Kingdom of Ceylon is called a feudal vassal, and it is sealed with five chapters of gun clothes, and it will be named the next year; second, Chen Lunpo Port is open to merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and merchants of the Ming Dynasty are allowed to bring their families to live in Chenlunpo for business. Trade is not hindered; [-]. Ming set up a consular officer in Chen Lunpo to deal with the affairs of the Han people, and Ceylon has no right to dispose of it; Feng Shishou is in charge, six..."
