Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The birth of Zhu Cijiong has extremely special significance for Ming Dynasty and Zhu Youxiao.

Under the autocratic rule of imperial power, there is no heir to inherit. In a sense, there will be many undercurrents in invisible places. In serious cases, it will endanger the country and even threaten the safety of the emperor!

An emperor who had no heirs behaved extremely forcefully in court. He was not influenced by his ministers at all and acted arbitrarily in everything he did.

Once there are too many benefits, there is no guarantee that someone will not choose to take risks.

Regicide may be a capital crime that implicates the nine clans.

But if it is really done, what can't be changed when the situation is turbulent?

"Queen, I will entrust Brother Jiong to you."

In the main hall of Kunning Palace, Zhu Youxiao looked at the sleeping baby in his swaddling clothes. The eyebrows were somewhat similar to his own, and Zhu Youxiao showed a faint smile.

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

Zhang Yan, who was sitting next to her, kept looking at Zhu Cijiong with her phoenix eyes, fearing to wake up the sleeping Zhu Cijiong. Zhang Yan even lowered her voice and said, "I will definitely take good care of Brother Jiong."

Concubine Rong Ren suffered a collapse of blood, which made Zhang Yan particularly pity Zhu Cijiong.

Just after he was born, his mother died.

No matter who knows this, he will feel pity in his heart.

What's more, for Zhang Yan, she understands this feeling, not to mention that it will be difficult for her to get pregnant again in the future, which makes Zhang Yan's feelings for Zhu Cijiong somewhat different.

"I have issued a strict decree in the palace that Concubine Rong is not allowed to be mentioned in the future."

Zhu Youxiao carefully handed Zhu Cijiong to Zhang Yan and said calmly: "Brother Jiong only has one biological mother. The queen should understand what I mean, right?"

"I understand."

Zhang Yan carefully held Zhu Cijiong in her arms. When she looked at Zhu Cijiong at this moment, Zhang Yan's expression was a little excited. She knew that the emperor said this not only for Zhu Cijiong, but also taking her feelings into consideration.

Like.

Really similar.

Looking at Zhu Cijiong sleeping soundly in her arms, Zhang Yan felt a different emotion in her heart. She always felt that Zhu Cijiong was very similar to Zhu Ciran!

"Don't let outsiders get involved in anything involving Brother Jiong."

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, then extended his hand to Zhang Yan who had a complicated expression and said: "I have ordered people to select a group of reliable people to accompany Brother Jiong. The wet nurse will come to Kunning Palace today. The queen can use it with confidence. They Their backgrounds are all clean, and their relatives have ordered them to be taken to a royal palace somewhere on the outskirts of Beijing."

"This couldn't be better."

Zhang Yan, who has experienced some things, expressed her approval after hearing this, "In this case, Brother Jiong will not be in any harm."

"Yes."

Zhu Youxiao said a little sadly.

When it comes to Zhu Cijiong's safety, Zhu Youxiao must pay attention to it. Under the original time trajectory, Zhu Cijiong was affected by the explosion in Wang Gong Factory and was scared to death. This also reflects from the side that Zhu Cijiong's health is not in any way. Problematic, even though the infant mortality rate during this period is very high.

But at least Zhu Cijiong's health is not a problem.

As for the big explosion at Wang Gong Factory, it is no longer possible for it to happen again. All the gunpowder depots in and around the capital have been moved out of the capital without exception.

The Armament Bureau built many workshops in the Xishan area, and also built many warehouses during this period, part of which was used to store black powder.

But this does not mean that Zhu Youxiao will relax his vigilance.

"I still have some things to deal with. The queen should take care of brother Jiong." Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao lifted his robe and stood up. After caressing Zhang Yan's forehead, Zhu Youxiao walked out of the palace.

The moment he left the palace, looking at the blue sky and the bright sun, Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood.

The birth of Zhu Cijiong completely shattered some things.

As long as Zhu Cijiong can thrive in the future, Zhu Youxiao has no worries at all. When he is training Zhu Youjian, there will be people with ulterior motives who will try their best to contact Zhu Youjian secretly.

After all, from the perspective of etiquette and law, if Zhu Youxiao has no heirs, then under the principle of direct descendants and non-direct descendants, Zhu Youjian is undoubtedly the closest by blood.

However, now that Zhu Cijiong is here, Zhu Youjian has no chance of succeeding to the throne.

In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, Zhu Youjian may not be able to be a king in troubled times, but he is definitely qualified to be the first overseas prince in troubled times!

The fundamental purpose of cultivating Zhu Youjian is to strengthen the imperial power, to open up overseas migration, and to develop a strategy of maritime advancement. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao will continue to do this matter.

The clan groups of the Ming Dynasty were supported by money from the national treasury. They were indeed worms. But if we could select some malleable talents among them and ask them to go overseas to expand their territory, then they would be the pillars of the Ming Dynasty! !

Zhu Youxiao has already thought about this matter. As for when to implement it, we will have to wait until the battle against Liao is over!

……

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

In the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, congratulations rang out one after another, and the summoned ministers all bowed and congratulated. The emperor has an heir, which is definitely a good thing for the country!

But only they know best who is really happy and who is fake.

"Let's talk about congratulations later."

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, waved his hand and interrupted. Then he looked at the ministers in front of him and said with sharp eyes: "This is not why I called you here today."

Ok?

After hearing this, many ministers became nervous.

The atmosphere in Dongnuan Pavilion became subtle.

"During the Hongwu Dynasty, Hu Weiyong, as the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, did not want to share the emperor's worries and worry about the country. He gathered party members in the court to work together to defeat differences."

Zhu Youxiao said in a cold tone: "Emperor Taizu Gao gave this thief several opportunities, but this thief went all the way to darkness and did not repent until the crime was committed. That's why he deposed the prime minister!!"

"And the special design of the cabinet was clearly designated by Emperor Cheng Zuwen after reviewing the situation in order to govern the world and stabilize the country. Speaking of the cabinet, it is supposed to assist the king, but the current cabinet makes me extremely disappointed!! "

The cabinet ministers Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Zhu Yanxi, Zhou Rupan, and Huang Liji who were standing at the forefront all became nervous after hearing what the emperor said.

Especially Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei, both of them broke out in cold sweat.

No one thought that the emperor would say such words at such a great time.

"Let's all take a look, look at how the Ming Dynasty's country has been corrupted!!"

Zhu Youxiao grabbed a memorial and threw it angrily in front of Gu Bingqian and the others, "This was found by the Zhili Department of National Taxation. I thought the previous Chongwenmen Customs was over, but I didn't expect that in Hexiwu, Tianjin and other places, There are still so many dirty things hidden."

"The water transport has been tampered with, the customs has been tampered with, and even the records sent to the court are false. In Beizhili alone, there is a difference of nearly one million taels in customs every year. Missing, okay, that’s great!!”

Han Yiliang, who was standing behind the crowd, had a change in his expression at this moment. He did not expect that the memorial he submitted to the emperor would be spoken out like this by the emperor in front of the ministers.

Han Yiliang's intuition told him that the cabinet was about to change.

And Han Yiliang is not the only one who has these thoughts!

For Zhu Youxiao, he will not be led by others in anything he does. This would be too passive. If someone wants to say that it is the duty to defend the land and then create a trend of pressure against him, then he will Find another way to catch some people off guard, so as to achieve unexpected results.

In the messy Ming Dynasty, if he followed the rules, there would be absolutely no way to survive at all. Zhu Youxiao didn't want to be led by others. In that case, it would be better to be a foolish king and pursue pleasure all day long.

An emperor like Chongzhen was extremely harsh on himself and enjoyed nothing, but in the end he still became the king of the country's subjugation. This was definitely not the result Zhu Youxiao wanted! !
