    ??

    In fact, from the bottom of their hearts, these Jiangnan nobles and officials do not want the imperial court to actually control the entire Jiangnan!

    Because in that case, the good days of these people will be over, but now the emperor Zhu Youxiao is so powerful that no one dares to say no in front of him!

    So this plan was happily decided, and Zhu Youxiao was responsible for the recruitment of officers and soldiers, and handed it over to Wei Guogong Xu Hongji, while the recruitment of the Guards was completed by the Nanjing Fleet itself!

    Although Xu Hongji, the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, got the seemingly lucrative job of conscription, before Xu Hongji could figure out how to get some benefits from it, Zhu Youxiao set some rules for this large-scale conscription!

    1. All soldiers must be in good health and come from poor families!

    2. All soldiers who are drafted into the army must be at least 18 years old and must not be older than 22 years old!

    3. Officers must have combat experience. If you have no actual combat experience, you must start as a soldier!

    4. In order to strengthen the training of the Jiangnan official army, the Guards will dispatch one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry as the backbone!

    5. Select five hundred people from the Longya Guards as military police to supervise the conduct and discipline of the armies in the south of the Yangtze River!

    As soon as Zhu Youxiao's five measures came out, even Xu Hongji started sweating. It can be said that through these five measures, although Zhu Youxiao was in Beijing, the army in Jiangnan was already under control!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT

    When the banquet was over, the Jiangnan officialdom immediately changed. Those officials, big and small, who were waiting for the news, had to consider where their butts were going to sit after getting the exact news!

    But the emperor Zhu Youxiao is very relaxed. He has already decreed that a "Yongle Dadian" will be enshrined in Nanjing Confucius Temple and invites all the big guys from Jiangnan Shilin to attend the ceremony!

    Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this grand ceremony is the last chance that Emperor Zhu Youxiao gives to Jiangnan Shilin!

    From now on, whether Jiangnan Shilin will be prosperous or bloody depends on the outcome of this negotiation!

    In order to wait for scholars from all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River to gather in Nanjing, Zhu Youxiao scheduled the ceremony to commemorate Confucius on May 16th. Before that, he had basically nothing to do. He just went around Nanjing accompanied by local leaders Xu Hongji and Lu Qingping.  Ichiban!

    On the Qinhuai River, on a beautifully painted boat!

    Zhu Youxiao was wearing a Confucian scholar's robe and waving a folding fan in his hand. He had the air of a pretty scholar with oily hair and pink face, and the aura of a young master with a delicate body and a frail body!

    It¡¯s just that this guy has a straight and straight hair, and he doesn¡¯t have that kind of long hair and graceful sleeves at all!

    On the other hand, Xu Hongji, Fang Congzhe, Zuo Guangdou, and Lu Qingping, who are sitting on the side, are more suitable for this romantic scene!

    After drinking a glass of sweet wine, Zhu Youxiao sighed and said: "Since I ascended the throne, it has been difficult for me to have such leisure time. Thinking about it, it is most relaxing when I am a grandson!"

    Because the boat was filled with singers from Duke Wei¡¯s palace, Zhu Youxiao didn¡¯t have any reservations about what he said!

    Xu Hongji smiled and said: "Your Majesty has worked hard to govern since he came to the throne. In just three years, the Ming Dynasty has been at its peak. It can be said that your Majesty's achievements are not inferior to those of Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty!"

    Zhu Youxiao pointed at Xu Hongji with a folding fan and said with a smile: "What Duke Wei Guo said is unlucky. The sun is about to set when it reaches its peak. Does it mean that Duke Wei expects me to go downhill in Ming Dynasty?"

    Xu Hongji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Just as he was about to defend himself, Fang Congzhe said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Wei Guogong has been in Nanjing all year round. He doesn't know your Majesty's temper. Your joke will scare him!"

    Zhu Youxiao patted his head, clasped his fists at Xu Hongji and said, "I was reckless, please forgive me, Duke Wei!"

    Although Xu Hongji was heartbroken, his clothes were soaked through. When he saw Zhu Youxiao apologizing to him, he quickly stood up and said respectfully: "I made a mistake, please forgive me!"

    Zhu Youxiao shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Wei Guogong is still too reserved. We, the monarchs and ministers, come out to have fun. We just want to be at ease. Don't make it like the court, that would be boring!"

    Xu Hongji kept saying yes, but he cursed in his heart: "You are the emperor and I am a minister, how dare I feel comfortable in front of you?"

    Zhu Youxiao also ignored Xu Hongji, looked at Zuo Guangdou and asked, "Mr. Yi Zhi, is there any news about those gentlemen in Donglin?"

    Zuo Guangdou leaned forward and said, "All the Dukes of Donglin have already set off. When Your Majesty offers sacrifices to Confucius Temple, all the Dukes will attend!"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "This is best. If you have anything to do, just sit down and talk about it. It's better than before."??It's better to be harmonious if there is too much conflict and it hurts!  "

    Zuo Guangdou's heart trembled when he heard this, and he forced out an awkward smile and said: "Your Majesty, the Dukes of Donglin dare not take your words seriously. No matter what they say, they are all your Majesty's ministers, and they will not dare to violate your Majesty's wishes no matter what.  !¡±

    Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Your thoughts are still the same as those of Donglin. You must ask Mr. Fang Ge for advice, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get along in the court!"

    Zuo Guangdou was stunned and looked at Fang Congzhe involuntarily!

    Fang Congzhe smiled calmly and said: "Yi Zhi's talents, abilities, and character are all available. He just keeps himself in Donglin's circle, so his work is inevitably limited. In His Majesty's words, the layout is too small!"

    Zuo Guangdou's face turned red, and he was about to argue, but at this moment a boat approached, and a person on the boat shouted: "Is this Brother Yi Zhi on the other side?"

    Zuo Guangdou stood up and took a look outside the window. It turned out that the person shouting was a former classmate of his. Normally Zuo Guangdou would naturally have to socialize, but today Zhu Youxiao was here, so he didn't dare to make his own decisions!

    Zhu Youxiao turned around and took a look, picked up a square Confucian scarf hat and put it on his head, and said to Zuo Guangdou: "Since we meet an acquaintance, let's go over and have a look!"

    Xu Hongji said quickly: ¡°Your Majesty, I don¡¯t know who is on the boat opposite, so I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s inappropriate to rush over there!¡±

    However, Zhu Youxiao said indifferently: "These singers in your house are too ordinary. I finally came out for a while, and it was too boring to listen to the official dance music. I just went over to watch the excitement. As for my safety, Wei Guogong  There¡¯s no need to worry, just drink with Mr. Fang Ge here!¡±

    Xu Hongji was immediately embarrassed when he heard this. Naturally, the singers in his house were not only good at court dances and music, but who dared to write those lewd lyrics and songs in front of the emperor?

    But Xu Hongji never expected that this was not in line with the emperor¡¯s wishes. Although it felt like flattering the horse¡¯s hooves, Xu Hongji was relieved!

    Playing with the emperor, especially playing with the emperor Zhu Youxiao, is so exciting that his old bones can no longer bear it!

    Just when Xu Hongji hesitated, Zhu Youxiao and Zuo Guangdou had already walked out of the cabin. In order to conceal their identity, Zhu Youxiao let Zuo Guangdou walk in front, while he himself was half a step behind!

    Zhu Youxiao whispered behind Zuo Guangdou: "Mr. Yi Zhi, just say that I am your subordinate!"

    Zuo Guangdou felt bitter in his heart, but he could only nod his head and whisper: "I understand!"

    Zuo Guangdou then said: "The man's name is Yu Guang, also known as Jingting. He and I were classmates in the countryside for three years. Now we haven't seen each other for twenty years, but I don't know how he is doing!"

    Zuo Guangdou¡¯s meaning is very simple. He is to tell Zhu Youxiao that that person is my classmate and we haven¡¯t contacted him for a long time. If he does anything messy, it has nothing to do with me!

    Zhu Youxiao naturally understood, and smiled calmly and said: "It's just a reunion of old friends, what can happen?"

    Zuo Guangdou could only smile awkwardly, but said nothing more!

    After walking out of the cabin, Zuo Guangdou regained his high-spirited appearance, clasping his fists towards the painted boat opposite and saying, "Is this the wise brother Jingting across from you?"

    The man opposite also came out of the cabin at this time and laughed: "It's my little brother. You and I haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years. I didn't expect that Brother Yi Zhi could still remember my little brother, hahahaha!" (Remember this site's website address: www  .hlnovel.com
