The first thousand and ninety-fifth chapters

Since Liao Huanzhi visited the Military Affairs Office, the Military Affairs Office has become much more stable. Shi Yizhi no longer wrote a letter to mention resignation. As for the small movements of the other military aircraft, they also stopped, and the entire Military Affairs Office has become more efficient.

This is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yicheng. If the Military Affairs Office is running smoothly, he will work less hard. If it is the contrary, the burden will be on Zhu Yicheng. He, the emperor, does not have the energy of his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang. Besides, the current Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty in the past. Just reading memorials every day will lead to exhaustion.

On this day, Zhu Yicheng had a rare leisure time and returned to the harem early. He held a small family banquet with the queen, prince, princess, and several concubines. Empress Li Juaner and a few concubines got into the kitchen and prepared some side dishes. Everyone had to eat with ordinary families outside. Although they had to follow the rules in the harem, this relaxed family gathering made Zhu Yicheng regain the rare joy.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the eldest prince is already ten years old. The other princes and princesses have gradually grown up, less naughty as childhood and more calm as a young man.

Seeing the children's brothers and brothers respectfully, Zhu Yicheng felt quite pleased.

Although he also knew that the nine sons of Longsheng were different, not to mention the royal family, even if they were ordinary wealthy families, they would have their own troubles when there were too many children, especially because they had different thoughts. For the sake of power and wealth, no one would be tempted and compete for it.

Regardless of whether what Zhu Yicheng saw on the surface was true or false, or whether these children really lived in harmony as he saw, at least Zhu Yicheng was quite at ease with his education of his prince and princess.

First of all, after he ascended the throne, he determined the rules about the children of the royal family, and directly broke the traditions passed down by his ancestors, so as to cultivate them in another better way.

Secondly, the Ming Dynasty is different from the Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is an orthodox Han Dynasty, but not the so-called dynasty from the nomadic peoples of the Qing Dynasty. Although it is like the Han Dynasty, it is still a monkey after all.

Although Kangxi's Nine Dragons' battle for the throne was broken by Zhu Yicheng's rise, it was still extremely tragic. In the end, the former crown prince was banned and now he was ignorant. Although the eldest prince was released, he had no power. Even Kangxi was eventually driven off the throne by Jianxing and died in a confused manner as the Supreme Queen.

Now, the fourth brother launched a coup and actually put Jianxing under house arrest, causing constant internal strife in the Qing Dynasty. How could he have the atmosphere of being the lord of the Central Plains?

Third, whether in the Ming Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty today, the rules for the eldest son to succeed the throne were strict. Even among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, except for a very small number, the eldest son inherited the throne. This is also the guarantee for the avoidance of disputes in the throne of the Ming Dynasty and even the Ming Dynasty today.

Coupled with other factors, Zhu Yicheng has tried his best to avoid the possibility of internal friction among the royal family for the throne in the future. As for some small moves and tricks, Zhu Yicheng doesn't care. If his descendants really don't have this ability and virtue, then it would not be a bad thing to change to a suitable person, which is still beneficial to the continuation of the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Emperor, what are you thinking?" Perhaps Zhu Yicheng was a little fascinated, and the queen Li Juaner next to him asked softly, and Zhu Yicheng woke up from his thoughts.

"Looking at these children reminds me of the days when I was wandering and wandering. If you weren't by my side, I really wouldn't know if I could have survived it at that time. Maybe I would have died in the chaos after the Battle of Hangzhou." Zhu Yicheng said softly, holding Li Juan'er's hand.

"The Emperor is the true dragon emperor. He has the blessing of God. Even if he doesn't have a concubine, he will survive the difficulties."

After hearing what Li Juaner said, Zhu Yicheng gently patted her hand: "After taking Ningbo, it was still full of difficulties. It was not until the Ningbo War won. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. When the Nanjing City was captured, the Ming Dynasty had a stable atmosphere. Now the Ming Dynasty is the lord of the world, and our children have grown up so old. Time flies for more than ten years, and the past seems to be still in front of us, vivid in my mind!"

Zhu Yicheng's feelings also made Li Juaner feel the same way, yes! More than ten years have passed in a flash, and the ten years of Yongye will soon pass, and in a few months, the spring of Yongye's eleventh year will usher in.

Life is just a hundred years, how many decades can it take? But for Li Juaner, she feels that her life is extremely satisfied.

Not only did she assist Zhu Yicheng ascend the throne and restore the Ming Dynasty, but she also gave birth to children for Zhu Yicheng, and she herself became the queen of the mother of the world. In addition, Zhu Yicheng has always respected her and has a stable position in the harem. Her eldest son is also the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that as a woman, she has everything she can have in this world. What else can I ask for in this life?

Thinking of this, the softness in Li Juan'er's eyes became even more intense. She felt the warmth coming from Zhu Yicheng holding her hand, and her body slightly turned to Zhu Yicheng.

Naturally, many people see the actions of the emperor and the queen, especially those concubines. They are naturally envious of the emperor's feelings for the queen, but these concubines also know that even if they give birth to a prince and a princess for the emperor, their true status in the emperor's heart cannot be compared with that of the queen.

Although this reality makes some people unwilling to accept it, they are powerless to do anything about the relationship between the emperor and the empress. Moreover, the current Ming Dynasty is different from the former Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yicheng has long set rules for the children of the royal family. Even if his son cannot ascend the throne in the future, with the current rules of the Ming Dynasty, he will not be a mediocre prince like the prince of the former Ming Dynasty, who can only eat, drink and wait for death.

At present, the Ming Dynasty's overseas territory is getting bigger and bigger. The emperor has promised before that as long as the royal family members have a promising future, they can also be enfeoffed overseas and expand their territory for the Ming Dynasty. If there is really such a day, then this is also a good choice, at least for them.

"I've missed Jiangnan these days." Li Juan'er looked into the distance and said softly.

It has been a long time since I came to the capital. Although the capital is more prosperous than Nanjing and the palace is more grand and magnificent, Li Juaner misses her for a long time in Jiangnan for a long time.

Moreover, after arriving in the capital, the rules were much stricter than when she was in Nanjing. After all, the capital was different from Nanjing. In addition, Li Juaner, as the lord of the six palaces, was able to set an example, but even so, she could not suppress her longing for Jiangnan.

"I know, actually sometimes I think, especially the duck and duck blood soup in Nanjing." Zhu Yicheng said this, which made Li Juaner cover her mouth and laugh.

When he was in Nanjing, Zhu Yicheng would sneak out of the palace every once in a while and then try duck and duck blood soup. As a queen, he naturally knew about this habit.

Sometimes, Zhu Yicheng would even bring some back from outside and come to her palace to enjoy it with her. When she thought of this, Li Juan'er felt sweet.

"It started to be hot this day, and the peaches in Jiangnan are probably ripe too."

"What? Do you want to eat peaches? It's not simple. I'll ask you to go to Jiangnan to load and ship, and it's only half a month back and forth." Zhu Yicheng smiled.

Li Juaner shook her head: "No need. I am not Yang Yuhuan, and the emperor is not Emperor Minghuang. For a few peaches, it will damage the emperor's reputation."

Zhu Yicheng Xiaoxiao didn't object to anything. Li Juan'er's words made him feel very comfortable. After thinking about it, he said: "In fact, you won't have to worry about it in a few years. The Ministry of Railways has made good progress. Now the railway on the Ningxia Line has been paved to Suzhou Prefecture, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach Shanghai in another year."

"As for the north, the railway from Beijing to Tianjin is also being built quickly, and it will be opened to traffic next year. The railway from Beijing to the south has started construction. It can reach Jiangbei in less than three years. By then, let alone peaches, it will be easy even if anything else comes."

Zhu Yicheng's words did not mean to make Li Juan'er happy. The current Ministry of Railways is indeed much larger than the original scale. Especially after the initial section of the Ningxia-Shanghai Line Railway began to pass, the Ming Dynasty's railway construction plan had already received support from the central and local governments, and a lot of manpower and material resources were invested in it.

After the first railway in the Ming Dynasty was opened to traffic, all knowledgeable people saw it. Once the Ming Dynasty’s railway network connecting east, west, south and north is built, it will have a great effect on military, commerce, people’s livelihood, transportation, politics and other aspects.

By then, long-term and transportation will no longer be a problem of restricting traffic. Railways have greatly shortened the distances in various parts of the Ming Dynasty and promoted communication and business development.

What's more, when a country is strong, it is often the best time to carry out infrastructure construction, and railways, as an important facility in the country's artery, are the best investment direction for the Ming Dynasty today.

It not only benefits the country and the people, but also allows for long-term and almost infinite benefits. This is not only seen by the court, but also by the private businessmen.

So when the court announced the establishment of the Ministry of Railways and began to build Beijing to Tianjin, Beijing to Shanxi, Beijing to Jiangbei, and then began to prepare for the railway from Nanjing to Shanghai to continue to extend from Shanghai to the south, intending to directly connect Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places, major banks, commercial banks, factory owners, etc. that came to the news almost broke through the threshold of the Ministry of Railways.

With the precedent ahead, all of these people want to gain benefits from the emerging railway and something with infinite potential. Although the court has absolute control over the railway, even if they get a share of it, many people are looking forward to it.

Therefore, this situation caused a large amount of idle funds to pour into the railway project, which also affected the leap in related technologies such as steel, machinery, and some new factories also emerged like mushrooms after a rain.
