Chapter 76 In Yunnan
Huai En originally didn't understand why Zhu Yuhuan calculated Zhang Fu's age, but now after hearing what she said, he also showed a shocked expression.
Zhu Yuhuan thought about how his biological father Zhu Zhanji had no children since Zhu Qiyu, while Zhang Fu was already having a second child at this age, and he felt a little complicated for a while.
If Zhu Zhanji knew this, he would be envious to death. Fortunately, he is already dead.
Huai En immediately speculated, "Could it be that Your Majesty has done something, and the Duke of England is worried that Your Majesty cannot fulfill his promise?"
Zhu Yuhuan had already calculated the time and said calmly, "How could it be so sudden? He must have noticed the clues a long time ago..."
This younger brother is worthy of being Zhang Zhong's son... From this we can see that no matter whether it is promoting the military examination or conquering Luchuan, Zhang Fu is still uneasy. Having more sons is more insurance. No matter whether they have the same mother or not, brothers who will not affect each other's interests will always take care of each other. Anyway, it is definitely better than having no successors.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuhuan waved his hand, driving away the messy thoughts from his mind. Then he flipped through the book, sneered, and said, "It seems that Wang Zhen is indeed smuggling weapons and armor with Guo Jing, using the name of mutual trade."
Mutual trade was originally a way to exchange resources with the Oirat and prevent the people from being harassed or violated, but now it has become a means for Wang Zhen and the Oirat to exchange interests. It is truly a black humor.
Huai En looked shocked and said, "Smuggling weapons and armor?"
Zhu Yuhuan hummed softly and said, "Shi Heng said that after receiving my information, he sent someone to secretly investigate. The smuggling was true, and he asked me if I wanted to write a letter to expose it."
The correspondence between the letters took a long time, not to mention that Zhu Yuhuan no longer had the "advantage" of being by Zhu Qizhen's side, so reporting the matter was not a good thing for either her or Shi Heng.
Besides, Wang Zhen still has some surplus value, and Zhu Qizhen will not easily "cut off his own arm". The priority of imperial power is above everything else.
Huai En also understood this and showed some hesitation, but still said: "Your Highness, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, not to mention that Wang Zhen is a man of many flowery words and flattery. If we rashly..."
Zhu Yuhuan chuckled and said, "I know, but I don't intend to interfere in this matter. Shi Heng and Guo Jing have always been at odds over Li Yi's affairs. Although they are safe and sound, they have been at loggerheads for a long time. If Shi Heng denounces Guo Jing, it will only be seen as a personal grudge. Besides, if I really intervene, not only will those ministers think I can take the blame, but it will also not look good in the eyes of His Majesty."
Zhu Yuhuan was already thousands of miles away, yet he still wanted to interfere in the affairs of the capital. At that time, Wang Zhen could easily alienate the "sister-brother relationship" between Zhu Yuhuan and Zhu Qizhen with just a few words. Who knows what will happen next.
Huai En nodded solemnly and said, "Huai En understands."
Zhu Yuhuan flipped through the letter in his hand again and was surprised to see that Xu Wangzhi mentioned at the end of the letter that Shi Jing had passed the military examination in spring.
It turns out that Shi Jing has not shown up in these years. It turns out that he was captured by Shi Lin to train martial arts. Now he has passed the military examination.
According to the military examination process established by Zhu Yuhuan, official positions should be assigned later. These military scholars will be allowed to serve in Beijing first, and some will be assigned to serve in local areas. In addition, a small number will be sent to the Imperial College to train students.
Zhu Yuhuan thought about it and realized that an official like Shi Jing, who came from a simple background and had no connection with high-ranking officials in the capital, would most likely be assigned by Zhu Qizhen to the Imperial College or the border. The former was to train personnel for himself, and the latter was to ensure that he could allow these people who passed the imperial examination to quickly gain experience and grow so that Zhu Qizhen could grasp the situation on the border.
These are the plans that Zhu Yuhuan listed for Zhu Qizhen. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Qizhen should not make major changes to this plan.
Although the plan was proposed by Zhu Yuhuan, the officials who passed the imperial examination had no connection with Zhu Yuhuan, so Zhu Qizhen naturally did not have to worry about these young officials who were originally used to break the balance establishing a new balance.
Most of those who stayed in the Imperial College to teach were of a certain age, and most of them had to go to the border for replacement. Zhu Yuhuan could almost guess where Shi Jing was going.
If it can be used properly, it may be a good move.
Huai En saw a smile on her lips, thinking that something good must have happened in the capital.
Zhu Yuhuan noticed Huai En's gaze and said with a smile, "The martial arts exam went very smoothly. The list of martial arts scholars has been announced to the world. From now on, the martial arts exam will be a daily routine. I don't have to worry about it all the time."
This matter was initiated by Zhu Qizhen, but the planning and selection of personnel were all done by Zhu Yuhuan, which can be called Zhu Yuhuan's hard work.
Therefore, Huai En was also very happy and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness. It's a pity that Your Highness was not in the capital during the martial arts examination and could not see the style of the martial arts scholars."
Zhu Yuhuan smiled and said, "I can see it every three years. What's the big deal?"
The last letter was written by Zhu Youtong, describing the recent situation in Beijing. Perhaps because he considered that writing too much would put a psychological burden on Zhu Yuhuan who was far away in Yunnan, he only briefly mentioned the recent situation of his family and mentioned a few words about the construction of the princess's mansion and the prince's mansion.
Zhu Yuhuan laughed in surprise, then only kept the letter paper on which Xu Wangzhi wrote the prescription, and asked Huai En to burn the rest.
Before leaving, Xu Wangzhi had given Zhu Yuhuan several prescriptions, each with its applicable conditions clearly stated. Now he had sent him an additional prescription, and it was clear at a glance that it was specially collected.
Zhu Yuhuan couldn't help laughing when he saw the small words Xu Wangzhi wrote after each prescription, such as "never tried" and "ask local people".
Xu Wangzhi has always been a competent doctor and is always very cautious when using medicine and providing medical treatment.
Zhu Yuhuan had just put the prescription away when someone outside the tent came in to announce, "Your Highness, the person who went to gather information has arrived with Mu Tongzhi's personal guards. Minister Wang and General Jiang, please summon them inside to discuss matters."
Zhu Yuhuan nodded slightly and said, "Let Minister Wang and General Jiang come in."
"yes."
Among the three, Zhu Yuhuan had the most honorable status. Usually, Zhu Yuhuan's tent was the main one, and the others would guard it in turn. Naturally, Zhu Yuhuan was the most respected when discussing matters.
Zhu Yuhuan had become accustomed to the southwestern accent during this period, and after listening to a few sentences, he understood it. At the current speed, he would arrive in Kunming in about five or six days.
