Early in the morning of the twelfth and fourth days of the lunar month, Zhu Cihong, according to the custom, first went to the Fengxian Hall where the ancestors were enshrined to worship the tablets of the ancestors, and bowed to the ancestors and bragged about his exploits in destroying the sun.

After finishing the incident, he began to ascend to the court, and went to the Fengtian Temple to receive congratulations from the ministers.

This time, the early dynasty mainly met with the civil and military officials, praised the conscientious duties of the court officials in the past half a year, and the ministers also touted the emperor's victory in this expedition, and the business boasted to each other.

Zhu Cihong has heard this kind of cookie-cutter eulogy and old-fashioned rules more than a dozen times, and at first he felt fresh, very royal majesty and momentum, and the more he went on, the more bored he felt.

But the rules are like this, such a big thing can't be ignored, he has to listen patiently to these clichés of singing praises and wishing the world peace.

In this early dynasty, the attitude of the ministers was a little subtle, they received the prince's order to be grounded early in the morning, and they couldn't help but guess the emperor's thoughts.

The prince Gouhong's murder is not big, but it is not small, obviously everyone does not take this matter seriously.

After all, you act debauched as a father, and you have cut people in Fengtian Temple, and it is nothing that your son forgot the process before he hooked up!

But since the emperor has done this, he must have an idea, is he afraid of the crown prince? Apparently impossible!

If Emperor Tianwu was a male master, then the current crown prince was like a newly weaned lion cub, unable to pose a threat to the lion king in all aspects.

As officials who can stand on the Fengtian Palace, everyone is a smart person, and they have been in the officialdom for some years, and their political sense of smell is extremely keen.

The first to figure out the reason was Yang Tinglin, the first assistant to the cabinet, who felt that the crown prince was only nine years old, but he was in charge of the country for the first time in an orderly manner, and he answered everything fluently, is this possible?

Back then, Emperor Tianwu was fourteen years old in charge of the country, and he was still a little rusty when he first started to govern the land south of the Yangtze River, and he often consulted the old ministers around him.

The nine-year-old prince, facing the entire Ming Empire for the first time, seems to be at ease, this is unreasonable, someone must be teaching him behind his back!

However, this person was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, and originally wanted the prince to behave well in front of the emperor, win the sacred heart, and make the prince trust him more.

As everyone knows, it is not the prince that the emperor is afraid of, but the princelings who are full of civil ministers and military generals!

The crown prince is young and easily seduced, which is the most dangerous.

After the touting, the temple was quiet again.

Yang Shicong, the second assistant of the cabinet, suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty personally went to the battlefield to boost morale, so that the officers and men of our army can fight to the death and open up the territory for the country, and then ......."

He paused for a moment in his tone and said: "However, Your Majesty is the king of a country, not a general in front of the army, you should focus on the great cause of the country, not the loss of a battle, if Your Majesty is not in the court for a long time, it will inevitably make people's hearts unstable, the people are uneasy, and the ministers can't sleep at night. ”

As soon as these words came out, many ministers cast strange glances at Yang Shicong.

Yang Gelao's words seem to be loyal to the monarch and the country, but in fact, they have the meaning of cowardice.

It probably means that the Ming Dynasty can't do without you, a good emperor, you are not in the country, the whole people are uneasy, and I can't sleep well!

Everyone knows that Yang Shicong is close to the crown prince, and wants to use the prince to suppress the first assistant Yang Tinglin in order to achieve the purpose of the first assistant of the upper cabinet, which is already an open secret.

Now that the crown prince has been reprimanded and grounded, this guy has begun to change the direction of the wind again, and he is currying favor with the emperor in disguise.

Yang Tinglin, the first assistant of the cabinet, kept silent and did not take the opportunity to attack Yang Shicong on the matter of the prince's grounding.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Yang Shicong meaningfully, nodded and said with a smile: "What Yang Qing said is very true, I should follow Yang Qing's advice and be cautious in my own actions!" ”

At this point, Yang Shicong was relieved that the leader did not trouble him.

He saluted Zhu Cihong and said, "Your Majesty obeys the words of the minister, and it is still a great blessing in the world!" ”

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, asked him to step down, and ordered Yang Tinglin to preside over the court meeting and enter the formal deliberations.

When Zhu Cihong personally went to Japan, the cabinet would submit a batch of recitals every half a month to report to him on domestic affairs.

All the official documents on a daily basis are basically decided by the cabinet itself, except for diplomatic and military affairs, which need to wait for his return to make decisions.

The current link is to concentrate on some major events before the year and take annual leave after the end.

First of all, the Ministry of Industry reported that geological exploration personnel sent by the Ministry of Industry to the South Seas had discovered a large gold mine and two suspected gold mines in Borneo.

In the ninth year of Tianwu, the Ming Dynasty drove out the Spaniards in Luzon, took half of Malacca, and locked the development direction of the Nanyang Protectorate to Pontianak in Borneo.

It is now found that there are large gold mines in Borneo, and according to the Ministry of Works, many of them are accompanied by a kind of gold with a shiny white sheen, which is far better than that of silver, and cannot be melted by flame or any melting technique.

Zhu Cihong judged that this thing should be platinum!

At this time, neither Orientals nor Europeans knew what was so valuable about platinum, let alone calcination techniques, and it was not until the second half of the eighteenth century that foreigners hammered platinum into blocks with other chemical elements.

The gold mines of Borneo played a considerable role in the economic development of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Nanyang Protectorate sent a report that the Dutch people stationed in Batavia also had a strong interest in these gold mines, and the Hongyi people were close to the water, and with their geographical advantages, they continued to increase their troops in Borneo and compete for territory with the Nanyang Protectorate.

The reason given by the Dutch is very simple, Borneo is close to Malacca and Batavia, and the Dutch have sent colonial troops to land in more than ten years, this is their sphere of influence, and the Ming army should withdraw.

Lu Xiangsheng, the capital of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate, issued a warning to the Batavia Governor's Palace, declaring: During the Yongle period of our dynasty, the Three Treasure Eunuchs went to the Western Ocean seven times and passed through Borneo twice, and this place was called Bo Ni at that time!

Moreover, I have a messenger in the Ming Dynasty, named Wang Senping, who was a local ruler in the coastal region of Borneo, and the specific time was the eighth year of Hongwu!

Finally, Lu Xiangsheng concluded: Borneo has been the sacred and inalienable territory of my Ming Dynasty since ancient times! You Dutchmen, get out!

Zhu Cihong looked at Huang Degong, Minister of Military Aircraft, and asked, "Are you sure that the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate warned Batavia?" ”

Huang Degong came out of the class and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate has issued three warnings to Hongyi!" ”

"Then what are you talking about, hit him!"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said, "Order the Nanyang Protectorate to go out after the New Year to capture Malacca and Batavia!" ”

Huang Degong asked: "Your Majesty, the commander and deputy marshal, as well as the scale of the army and warships going out, to what extent, please show your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Cihong said without thinking: "Coach Lu Xiangsheng, deputy coach Shen Shouchong, the rest are up to them!" In one word, after next year, no foreign soldiers will be allowed to appear illegally in this sea area and land of Nanyang! ”

When Daming beat Japan, the Dutch people were buying weapons and selling food, jumping up and down, and now they dare to grab territory with Daming!

What's ridiculous is that you dare to talk to Da Ming about historical belonging, it's really a long time to see!
