Zhu Youxiao had already intended to expel Keshi from the palace, but on the surface he was still going along with it. He was indifferent, but he didn't show any disgust.
As for Keshi, she was indeed beautiful, even alluring. But for the Emperor Tianqi, who lacked maternal love, her age became an advantage, a quality he admired.
But Zhu Youxiao was unmoved. There were so many beautiful women waiting for him, why did he have to eat this old vegetable?
Not to mention the newly appointed queen and concubines, even the palace maids around him were all well-dressed. As long as he wanted to, he could have sex with them.
Zhu Youxiao was full and satisfied, but he felt annoyed when he saw Keshi still clinging to him.
The empress has been appointed, which means the harem has a master. There will definitely be ministers who will make suggestions and send Keshi away. Well, I might as well go with the flow and send this old witch away so that she won't be an eyesore again.
Zhu Youxiao had made up his mind, and after saying a few more perfunctory words, he used the excuse of needing to rest for a while to send Keshi away and dismiss the palace maids.
What is this little thing here for?
The room became quiet, and Zhu Youxiao began to think about Xiaobai, who was lazily lying on the table after eating the fish prepared by the imperial chef.
The Linqing Lion Cat is the offspring of the Persian cat and the Luxi civet cat. It has a gentle temperament, long and soft fur, and the snow-white fur is the most precious.
Although Xiaobai hasn't grown up yet, his "heterogeneous eyes" are quite obvious. His yellow eyes sparkle with gold, while his blue eyes are distant and deep, like the blue sky and the sea.
"Meow!" Xiaobai called softly, washed his face with his little paws, and half-closed one of his blue eyes, leaving only his golden eyes to look at Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao looked at it for a long time, not understanding what was going on. He then reached out and touched the snow-white fur. Besides being soft and smooth, he still didn't feel any signs of activating any skills.
What kind of golden finger is this? As long as it’s not the finger that can turn stone into gold, it’s useless to me.
Does an emperor, the supreme ruler of the country, need cheats? Does he need them? Does he need them?
Isn’t the biggest advantage of a time traveler the familiarity with the course of history? Isn’t that the biggest cheat?
Although Zhu Youxiao was not a history major and was not familiar with every historical figure, he had at least read "Stealing the Ming Dynasty" and "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty" and was a fan of the Ming Dynasty who talked a lot on the Internet!
Zhu Youxiao smiled with a smile on his face, he felt that he had figured it out.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to get cheat codes, cheats, or systems, you'll have to pay for them. The big liar has made it clear; he's definitely trying to get something from me.
Zhu Youxiao suddenly understood and leaned back in his chair, no longer wasting his time thinking about the golden finger.
Haha, others have systems, they are cheaters, but I have a cat.
Just as Zhu Youxiao was relaxing, Master Wei came in, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived at the Wenhua Palace."
"Hmm!" Zhu Youxiao replied lazily, took a sip of tea, and ordered, "Please invite Master Sun and Master Yuan first."
Why did he change his mind? Because Zhu Youxiao had a new idea.
Specifically, there are two aspects: first, he was not very familiar with the system of the Ming Dynasty, and the information he obtained from the Internet in his previous life might be problematic; second, he wanted to show off those court officials and show his power first.
Uncle Wei received the order and went out. Not long after, he came back to report that Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli were waiting for him outside.
With Zhu Youxiao's approval, the two imperial teachers entered the hall and knelt down to pay their respects.
"My two beloved ministers, please excuse yourselves." Zhu Youxiao raised his hand and added, "Please take a seat."
"Your humble servant thanks the Emperor for his great grace." After expressing their gratitude, Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli sat respectfully on the embroidered cushion brought by the palace maids.
The palace has strict rules, and the emperor's seat is also customized. It is not a chair with a backrest, but an embroidered cushion.
Wen Zhenheng's "Records of Superfluous Things" in the late Ming Dynasty recorded: "There is an embroidered cushion in the palace, shaped like a small drum, with tassels hanging from the four corners. It is also exquisite and can be used."
Even on this small embroidered cushion, the two imperial teachers did not sit firmly, and their buttocks were half-signed.
Despite having the memory of Emperor Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao was secretly amazed at Sun Chengzong's appearance.
The face looks rough and sturdy, with thick and heavy sideburns. Some people believe that it is Zhang Fei or Li Kui.
In comparison, Yuan Keli's image is quite literary, which is exactly the mainstream of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youxiao ordered the palace servants to serve tea, then he slowly spoke, "I have been reviewing the memorials today and am worried about the Liao situation. I am afraid that the discord between the governor and the governor will lead to disaster."
The discord between Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, and Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, had lasted for several months, and there was much discussion in the court, but no consensus.
When the emperor asked this question, Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli were a little surprised, but then they felt relieved.
Although Your Majesty is young, he has already begun to care about military and national affairs. This is a good thing!
Sun Chengzong paused for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise and sagacious. The discord between the generals and ministers is worrying. The cabinet has discussed this several times, but has yet to reach a conclusion."
Yuan Keli bowed and said, "I am in the capital and have no knowledge of the Liao situation. The governor and the governor have different opinions, and I dare not determine their truth."
I still have to set the tone first, so that the two imperial teachers can speak freely!
Zhu Youxiao was not offended by the cautious words of the two imperial teachers. They did not know the development of history and did not understand the situation in Liaodong very well. Of course, they were not sure who was right and who was wrong between Neng and Wang.
"Wang Huazhen is untrained in military operations, despises powerful enemies, and is prone to verbal abuse." A low, deep voice slowly flowed from the young emperor's mouth. "I think Xiong Tingbi's three-way deployment strategy is excellent."
Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli looked at each other in surprise.
Zhu Youxiao continued, "Years ago, the important Liaodong city of Shenyang and the Liaodong capital of Liaoyang fell one after another. Everything east of the Liaohe River fell to the Eastern Tartars. The ministers were furious and petitioned to appoint Xiong Tingbi to rescue the situation. However, although Xiong Tingbi is now the governor of Liaodong, he has no troops under his command and is only a figurehead. How can he be effective?"
After the Battle of Sarhu, the military situation in Liaodong took a sharp turn for the worse, from offensive to defensive, and from advantage to disadvantage.
How to clean up the mess in Liaodong became a hot potato. At this time, Xiong Tingbi, who had been staying in his hometown for many years, was finally remembered.
Xiong Tingbi accepted the order and rushed to Liao territory at a rapid speed to inspect the geographical situation, recruit refugees, repair defensive equipment, and dispatch troops to garrison, so as to stabilize the morale of the army and the people.
As the situation stabilized slightly, the Donglin Party immediately became happy again. Yao Zongwen, Feng Sanyuan, and the censor Gu Xu successively impeached Xiong Tingbi, accusing him of being reckless and deceiving the emperor. Finally, they forced Xiong Tingbi to resign and replaced him with their comrade Yuan Yingtai.
Then, in less than a year in the first year of the Tianqi reign, Shenyang and Liaoyang fell one after another, Yuan Yingtai committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and all the territories east of the Liao River were lost.
At this time, the ministers in the court thought of Tingbi again.
As a result, those who had impeached Xiong Tingbi were punished, and the Tianqi Emperor issued an edict to promote Xiong Tingbi from his family. This time, the Donglin Party took the opportunity to promote Wang Huazhen to the position of governor.
