I am the king of the dead

Although Chen Mao scolded the unruly people in southern Fujian every word and every word, he defended the people in southern Fujian everywhere, such as punishing this gangster, which was Chen Mao's request in the memorial.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Chen Mao accepted the imperial decree for the people of southern Fujian.

Li Yongchang took out an edict from his sleeve, handed it to Chen Mao, and said very solemnly: "Before leaving, Your Majesty has repeatedly explained that you must do your best in this matter."

Chen Mao picked up the edict and opened it with a solemn expression, the more solemn his expression became.

"Chen, I will live up to the emperor's orders!" Chen Mao said respectfully.

Li Yongchang said again: "There are also military disasters in Fujian that have caused the people to live in poverty. Your Majesty has the virtue of living a good life. He quoted the teachings of his ancestors. In every year of disaster, he will pay the second tax and loan rice. I also ask the Marquis of Ningyang to take care of the matter of keeping the land safe for the people." , is a major event for the country and society."

"The Household Department has handed over the memorial, and the imperial decree will arrive in a few days."

Chen Mao took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "On behalf of the people of Fujian, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Chapter 118 Heirs Are Important

In the imperial edict that Chen Mao received, the most important thing was the policy of garrisoning fields, which was the restoration of the military garrison law, but in the imperial edict, Zhu Qiyu particularly emphasized the danger of the Japanese pirates.

The farm law in Chen Mao's hands is different from that of Gyeonggi. There are volunteer groups in Gyeonggi, but there are very few.

However, the farm method in Kyushu and Fujian outside the mountains is more like the military method, and the training ratio of volunteers has been greatly improved.

In fact, the Japanese pirates in Haijiang had already become a very troublesome problem in the Yuan Dynasty.

At that time, Su Song's grain was transported by sea, and the Japanese pirates often intercepted the ship, which caused problems in Khan Bali, that is, Beijing's grain supply.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, after Zhang Shicheng was destroyed, the remnant forces once colluded with the Japanese pirates to cause disasters in the sea.

The Japanese pirates were very honest for a period of time, and even for more than [-] years, no Japanese pirates violated China.

It was when Zheng He sailed to the West from the third year of Yongle and ended in the eighth year of Xuande. At that time, Ming had the most powerful naval fleet in the world.

How dare Japanese pirates provoke China?It's too late to hide and walk.

Zhu Qiyu was very concerned about the chaos in southern Fujian, and specifically told Chen Mao: "There are many Japanese pirates in southern Fujian. The Japanese used to sail in small boats to rob Tosa and Bungo oceans, hide in wild islands, and spy on merchant ships to plunder them."

"The barbarians are the patients of Binhai. It is not the barbarians who dare to invade China, but China itself is the bandit."

"There are some officials who are usually uneducated, have no way to raise them, are forced by hunger and cold, drive them into robbers, and can't manage to disperse them and recruit them. Compared with raising them, they will become successful, join boats and build strongholds, and capture officers and soldiers to burn Han ships. "

Do Japanese pirates dare to invade China?

Zhu Qiyu also made it very clear in the memorial.

If the locality does not rest with the people, the people will suffer from hunger and cold, and if they are oppressed a little, they will become pirates.

The localities couldn't disperse them properly, and finally all the people who had fallen into bandits joined boats and formed strongholds, captured officers and soldiers and burned Han boats, and played a fierce role in the sea.

Regarding the governance of southern Fujian, Zhu Qiyu's specific advice is to restore military settlements, build farms, train militias, keep their food, and if there is a war, they can also be recruited to suppress Japanese.

Li Yongchang, as a servant, saw that Chen Mao had received the imperial decree and edict, so he got on his horse and said, "Ningyanghou, our family's decree has also arrived, so we won't stay any longer."

Chen Mao put down the imperial edict in his hand, and said to Li Yongchang: "Da Dang is going slowly, we have prepared refreshments and meals, and it is not too late to leave after eating."

Chen Mao learned from the post station that when the imperial decree arrives, preparations are already underway. Although Fujian has been riddled with holes due to the war, it is still possible to find some ingredients and cook a meal for the envoy in yellow.

The most important thing is, if this big peng goes back and makes a few nonsense in front of His Majesty, wouldn't Chen Mao be wronged by the world?

There is always a little bit of transportation fee, and Chen Mao is ready, but it is not easy to squeeze it in the public.

Li Yongchang cupped his hands and said: "That won't work, Da Dang told our family, don't get stuck in food and take what you want when you get to the place, and take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, only pass orders, and don't arbitrarily exercise power."

"Marquis of Ningyang, Your Majesty said: When the emperor returns triumphantly, Your Majesty will hold a sutra feast for Ningyanghou!"

"Goodbye."

Li Yongchang cupped his hands again, and took three or four Dongchang fans towards the way they came from, without stopping for a moment.

The fans of Dongchang all listened to their ancestors, and the ancestors in the palace were the eunuchs who supervised ceremonies and the governor of Dongchang Xing'an.

In comparison, is it worth taking Chen Mao's money or his life?

Li Yongchang drove his horse towards the north, Chen Mao blinked, looking at the eunuch's back, he suddenly remembered that in the old days, when he was guarding Gansu, Wang Zhen's gang would rake in money whenever they came to Gansu.

Your Majesty and the gang from the East Factory actually left just like that?

Simply, incredible!

Chen Mao immediately sent an order: "Immediately send orders to the commanders, each commander, commander, commander, and commander, and make a joint appointment with the Volunteer Group, and the murderer will die!"

Killer dies is the most basic fairness.

Zhu Qiyu asked Chen Mao to set the rule, that is, as long as someone kills someone, he must die, no matter who the person is or what he has done, he must die.

More fairness, Zhu Qiyu can't do it, and Chen Mao can't do it, but this is a matter of nature and justice.

There is no absolute fairness in the world, Zhu Qiyu is not an idealist, he did not talk about other fairness, only this one, murderer dies.

Chen Mao walked into the Jianyang camp. The school field here was full of volunteers practicing. They were actually prisoners. After Chen Mao went south from Zhejiang, he had no enemies along the way.

With so many captives, His Majesty didn't set a tone, and he couldn't deal with them.

Well now, it's all over.

They changed their name from prisoners to volunteers to practice!

Chen Mao kept patrolling, his already cloudy eyes now showed eagle-like light, watching the militiamen who were constantly training, and constantly correcting their posture.

"Your waist is sinking! Buttocks are sticking out! Do you want to grind tofu at your house! The Japanese pirates slashed your kneecap and you know it hurts!"

"Hands, use your strength! Have you eaten yet! Tie into a horse stance! The foot is stable, the whole body is stable! If you don't want to die, sweat more!"

"What's going on? Why are you lying on the ground? Get up! Keep practicing, as long as you can't die, practice for me!"

……

Until late at night, Zhu Qiyu finally put down the melody in his hands, rubbed his slightly confused mind, stood up and stretched.

He walked to the sink, washed his hands, frothed with soap, and washed them thoroughly, until all the ink stains on his hands were washed off.

When handling official documents, his hands are full of ink, just like when he corrects his homework, his hands are full of ballpoint pen and ink.

Chinese New Year is approaching, and the capital finally has a somewhat lively scene. Some shops are opening one after another, and the number of pedestrians on the street is gradually increasing. , much more stable.

Zhu Qiyu finally felt a little more at ease, at least he didn't make Daming worse by coming here to be the emperor who saved the time.

In the future, it will definitely get better and better!

Wang Meilin poked her head out now, and when she saw that Zhu Qiyu was done, she came up to meet her.

"Your Majesty." Wang Meilin looked at Zhu Qiyu with big eyes, pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs a few days ago, but he hasn't come to the concubine's room for a long time."

Wang Meilin handed the scarf to Zhu Qiyu to wipe his hands.

Zhu Qiyu sniffed, and there was a scent after bathing. The makeup on Wang Meilin's face was quite suitable for light makeup and thick application.

This is an indication.

He grabbed Wang Meilin's weak and boneless hand, and said with emotion: "Why don't I want to have fun, but the world is in danger, so it's finally a thousand things, let's figure it out."

Being pulled, Wang Meilin's body became a little limp, and she fell into Zhu Qiyu's arms.

Her tone was full of grievances, but she didn't dare to show it: "The concubine is a woman, but she also knows not to harm the country and the people, so your majesty is busy with state affairs, and the concubine can only hold a candle to the empty window."

"However, the concubine is the empress of the royal concubine Jin. There has been no Qilin'er, and I have been pointed at by others. Concubine, concubine, I hope Your Majesty will take pity on you."

Such a face of Yu Jie, so resentful, it makes people appetite.

Zhu Qiyu was about to speak when Xing'an suddenly opened the door and walked in.

Of course Xing'an knew that Wang Meilin was there, but he had to come in because of something important.

"Your Majesty." Xing'an bowed, but said nothing.

Wang Meilin stood up straight, looking at Xing'an's appearance, he was so angry!

When is not good, it must be this time!

Wen Po counted the days, today is a good day, she might be pregnant, but Xing'an interrupted it.

She glanced at Zhu Qiyu full of sorrow, bowed, and said timidly: "The concubine will leave."

Zhu Qiyu exhaled, looked at Xing'an, and asked seriously: "What happened?"

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the British Duke's younger brothers, Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu, are waiting outside the door, saying that they want to see His Majesty. The British Duke is loyal to the country, has contributed to the country, and has great virtues. I really dare not neglect."

"It's so late, are you still here? Xuan." Zhu Qiyu nodded and sat back in his seat.

The British government is the head of the honored relatives, and there must be something important to say when they meet late at night.

"Go and boil some hot water, I'll take a bath later, and let the queen wait a while." Zhu Qiyu told Xing'an that he had an early rest today.

The importance of sons and heirs to an emperor is self-evident.

Recently, some courtiers have written letters, dissatisfied that His Majesty only has one concubine and one concubine, and they are eager to fill the emperor's harem with people.

It's not that Zhu Qiyu doesn't know the importance of offspring, but he has been very busy before, and the messy government affairs finally made Zhu Qiyu clear.

This is considered to be a rest. For the emperor, the matter of having a child is a big deal!

Chapter 119 Use this to test the emperor?

"Ministers Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu see Your Majesty, and Your Majesty bows to you." Brothers Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu performed the ceremony first.

"Excuse me, sit down." Zhu Qiyu asked the two to sit down and looked at them.

The British Duke Zhang Fu died in the civil fort, and the matter of the British Duke's hereditary became the top priority of the British Duke.

The two brothers Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu have nothing to mention in battle, and they are also representatives of the honored relatives in the incident of seizing the door.

Zhu Qiyu was highly vigilant against the two of them, and Jin Yiwei's people also kept an eye on them every day.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of England has inherited it. I think that Zhang Zhong, the elder brother's son, is disabled and not suitable for succession." Zhang Min said straight to the point.

Zhu Qiyu was well prepared. Zhang Fu taught his son very strictly. Zhang Zhong was injured while riding a horse. In the end, one leg was broken and he could no longer walk.

A noble family, born with a disability cannot inherit the title.

He looked at the two of them and said with certainty: "Although Zhang Zhong has a disability, he has a son, Zhang Jie. I thought it would be kind to him."

Zhang Fu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. Zhang Jie's mother Wei Shi is a maidservant. This Wei Shi is dissolute by nature. She was pregnant before becoming a loyal maidservant."

"This Wei family deliberately approached Zhong'er, and gave birth to an evil son before the full moon."

"Zhang Jie suspects that he is not the real son. This matter is a family scandal in the minister's family. If it is not a matter of kindness, it will definitely not be spread to the outside world!"

Zhang Fu spoke powerfully and accurately, but now there is no DNA, so things like blood tests are not reliable at all.

Regarding the candidate for the Duke of England, Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "The eldest son of the Duke of England, Zhang Mao, has little ambition, but he can be kind."

The eldest son is Zhu Qiyu's temptation to test their true intentions.

Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu looked at each other and bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Mao is only nine years old this year."

Zhu Qiyu blinked, this...

Zhang Zhong has a son, Zhang Jie, and they seem to be in their twenties, that is to say, Zhang Fu has an adult grandson.

Why is Zhang Mao, Zhang Fu's eldest son, only nine years old?

Zhang Fu was a Marquis during the Yongle period, and then conquered the South as a Duke. After four dynasties, he died in Tumubao and died in battle for the country. Four out of seventy.

Zhu Qiyu thought that the eldest son of the concubine had already grown up, why is he only nine years old?

It seems that what Zhang Fu said about family ugliness is true.

The eldest son is disabled, and the eldest grandson may not be of his own blood. Zhang Fu fought all his life and made great contributions. The British government has a huge mess, but no one inherits it. It may be Zhang Fu's heartache.

Nine years old.

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment, and immediately understood why the two brothers came here so late.

Zhang Mao is young, and the two of them naturally have the final say on the affairs of the Duke's mansion, but the abacus is clinking.

"Then Zhang Mao, nine years old, although a little younger." Zhu Qiyu nodded.

Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu breathed a long sigh of relief, bowed their heads and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the two of them quite playfully. Is it just such a small request for them to make a trip so late?

After Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu thanked each other for their kindness, they looked at each other for a long time without saying goodbye or speaking.

Zhang Fu has some military merits, he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, after the sudden change of the former civil fortress, the governors, governors, admirals, commanders, generals, commanders, and even thousands of households and small capitals of the five armies Traditions were all lost in the shocking changes in the civil fortress."
