Although Zhu Zai-ji doesn't mention the issue of Taiwan, he has always been concerned about this matter.
He knew very well the importance of Taiwan in the future era of navigation.
As long as you can control Taiwan firmly, the vast Pacific Ocean can be allowed to gallop.
But once there is a loss in this place, don't talk about the future of the Ming Dynasty's navy. Even whether the Ming Dynasty can trade and interact with civilizations outside the sea depends on the expression of others.
So, Taiwan has always been a huge part of Zhu Zai-chan's heart.
He must completely imprint Taiwan with the exclusive mark of the Ming Dynasty in an era when he can only control the future and control the overall situation.
No matter how many years or changes have passed, this place is still an inseparable part from the mainland.
Otherwise, I would let this place be left alone overseas, just as a paradise for adventurers, and only as a last retreat for losers.
Then it will be extremely difficult to be one with the mainland here and be united in one's heart and virtue.
It would not be easy for the indigenous people on the island and those mainland refugees who have set up their homes and escaped suffering at risk of their lives. It would not be easy for them to have a sense of collective identity with the Ming Dynasty as a whole. Something about.
Therefore, Zhu Zaiji had to make plans early and regard this place as a royal land that was equal to the Ming land, which was in line with the long-term interests of the Ming Dynasty and even for generations to come.
Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji naturally understood Zhu Zaiyan's strategic intentions, and also knew the key to whether the Southeast can be stable for a long time. In fact, it is on this small island that has never been valued before.
So, after hearing Zhu Zai Di's words, Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji nodded in agreement and replied: "What the prince said is very true."
Zhu Zai Di looked at him Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji couldn't help but laugh when they responded like this.
"I believe you two have some thoughts in your mind when summoning Hu Qing and Zhao Qing back to Beijing this time?"
Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji smiled embarrassedly when they heard Zhu Zaiji's smile.
Indeed, this time, the two of them still had great expectations in their hearts.
For example, Hu Zongxian has been serving as the governor in the Southeast for some years. According to the rules of the court's selection and appointment, he really should change his place.
Otherwise, if a long-term official is in the same place, it will inevitably lead to some headaches for the court.
So even now Hu Zongxian is still very suitable to serve in the Southeast, and the court cannot continue to put him in the Southeast.
Therefore, according to the old rules in the past, Hu Zongxian must have been left in the capital and reused.
And with his current official position and contribution, the official position he can hold in the capital will inevitably be a prominent position with high status and power.
Otherwise, how could the court inspire more capable and patriots to work and work for the court?
Hu Zongxian replied modestly: "Where do I have any thoughts in my mind? How the prince should use the minister, and wherever I want to use the minister, I will work hard."
Zhu Zai Di Hehe, "Hu Qing is humble in these words. If I were to let you be a small county magistrate, would you still be willing?"
Hu Zongxian smiled awkwardly again, really unwilling to do so.
But when replying, Hu Zongxian replied loyally: "As long as it is the prince's arrangement, I will do it!"
Zhu Zaiji smiled and said, "Okay, right?" Okay, don’t talk about these false things. I will give you a brief explanation. According to the previous memorial by Your Majesty, you are likely to be actually reinstated as Minister of War, in charge of all military needs within and outside the court.”< br>
Hu Zongxian heard this The excitement on his face could no longer be concealed. He couldn't help but get up and bow to Zhu Zaiji again, "I thank you for your kindness!"
Zhu Zaiji looked at this The excited Hu Zongxian also laughed, "Get up, this matter is not yet decided. I just told you in advance. If His Majesty thinks you have other talents and put you in another position, it won't be Impossible."
Although Zhu Zaiji said this, how could Hu Zongxian be so unstable?
Hu Zongxian said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. As long as it is the arrangement of the prince and His Majesty, I will never think of anything!"
Zhu Zai said no, "Very good." , The idea that you have such a thought means that you have been cautious in the Southeast over the years and have not lost yourself by the huge power in your hands. "
"The capital is different from the local area. In the local area, you hold the ace The command arrow is the governor who holds the power of life and death. Officials, gentry and people, all want to please you. But in the capital, even if you are an official in the Shangshu Hall, you may not be able to be free and easy. The yamen and officials in the capital are more complicated than those in the place, and people's hearts are more difficult to figure out. "
"So, I hope that if you really want to stay in the capital in the future, you must learn the essence of the four words "careful words and actions", and at the same time, don't regard yourself as the governor of one side. I forgot to kill decisively."
"Sometimes, when doing things, you still need some temper and personality to be able to support some things and shoulder the responsibilities on your shoulders. If you just want to be stable, then whoever is alone will actually not have much to do with this Shangshu. "
"So, Gu hopes that you can understand Gu's painstaking efforts, and don't be like everyone else." Hu Zongxian was extremely moved when he listened to Zhu Zaiji's earnest teachings.
You must know that in general, as a monarch, you will never speak so bluntly with your subordinates.
Otherwise, how can those who are kings be powerful?
But Prince Yu was able to say so thoroughly, obviously because he really had great expectations and trust in him, and wanted him to make new achievements in a new position!
So, at this time, Hu Zongxian fell to the ground without any hesitation, "The prince is above, I will definitely live up to the prince's expectations. Even if it is broken into pieces, I will definitely fulfill what the prince wants and hopes. Do another meager power for the Ming Dynasty! "
Zhu Zaiji is very satisfied with Hu Zongxian's current reaction and attitude.
Although this reaction and attitude can sometimes be disguised.
But Hu Zongxian had no other way to retreat, and the only force he could rely on was Zhu Zaiji.
If he had a half-hearted idea of Zhu Zai Di and wanted to "be with the light" with others, then everything he had now would be gone in an instant!
So, Zhu Zaiji was not worried at all whether Hu Zongxian would have the idea of disobeying him, because such consequences were unbearable!
Zhao Zhenji, who was standing beside him, was also envious of Hu Zongxian as he was so trustworthy by Zhu Zai.
You must know that compared to Hu Zongxian, Zhao Zhenji believed that he was the right person from Prince Yu's mansion. Therefore, at this time, seeing that Hu Zongxian could have such good luck and gain such trust and appreciation from Zhu Zaiyu, he had no reason not to receive better rewards.
So at this moment, Zhao Zhenji couldn't help but imagine it.
Compared with Hu Zongxian, who was only a general Jinshi, his ceiling is visible to the naked eye. He can be transferred back and forth several times as the six ministers, which is almost the best.
As a Hanlin native, Zhao Zhenji is different. According to the unspoken rule of the Ming Dynasty that "no Hanlin is allowed to enter the cabinet", as long as he can get enough appreciation from Zhu Zaiyan, as long as he has a big enough Fame, then his future has infinite possibilities!
Even if you join the cabinet and become a minister in the future, it is not impossible.
Zhu Zai-ji looked at Zhao Zhenji's excitement now, and suddenly smiled in his heart.
It turns out that everyone has ambitions.
But Zhu Zaiji did not reject this ambition. In Zhu Zaiji's eyes, it is a good thing for scholars like Zhao Zhenji to have ambition.
If they lose their ambitions and think about quitting home to spend their best when encountering risks, it will be a big trouble.
So, Zhu Zaiji was very satisfied with the excitement and ambition that Zhao Zhenji had to show at this moment.
Zhu Zaiyu looked at Zhao Zhenji and said, "Zhao Qing has worked hard in Zhejiang in the past few years. Gu and Your Majesty have been paying attention to your achievements. This time, you and Hu Qing returned to Beijing according to the imperial edict. In fact, it is also a formality. After the matter of Hu Qing is settled, I will ask Your Majesty to arrange a suitable position for you."

赵贞吉听到这句话，再也忍不住激动的起身了，他也拜在地上回道：“王爷和陛下的隆恩，臣万死莫报！臣必衔环结草，以报圣恩！”
朱载坖呵呵笑道：“赵卿能有此心，孤心甚慰。到时候，该卿报恩出力的时候，卿可莫要退缩了。”
刚刚还很激动的赵贞吉，在听到朱载坖这句话的时候，心里也不由升起了一丝不妙的感觉。
但很快，赵贞吉也将这丝不妙的感觉给抛到了九霄云外。
Because he is also very clear that sometimes some things have to pay some price to get a full return.
Otherwise, I always think about peace and smoothness, which is what will happen to those idle people who have no pursuits.
Besides, Zhao Zhenji, who has already made the official position, has to aim at the position of the cabinet.
If at this critical moment, he showed an attitude that made Zhu Zaiji displeased, then it might be more difficult to enter the cabinet in the future, not to mention entering the cabinet, if you want to go further, it might be more difficult than climbing to the sky.
So, Zhao Zhenji immediately patted his chest and replied, "I read the books of a saint and practice the way of a saint, so that one day I can show my ambitions, live up to the teachings of the saints, and live up to the ancestors of the country. The prince wants to give in. If I do my best, I must do my best to live up to the prince’s expectations! ”
Zhu Zai-die nodded with satisfaction when she saw Zhao Zhenji look so serious.
In Zhu Zaiyan's initial idea, he wanted to recall Zhao Zhenji and let him serve as the Minister of Revenue in the capital and take charge of the Ming Dynasty's money bag.
But after some careful consideration, Zhu Zai Di felt that he had taken Zhao Zhenji back to the capital to be a minister at this time, and seemed to be a little too hasty.
Although Zhao Zhenji is almost sixty, this age is also the age of hard work for them, the longer-lived senior civil servants.
If he couldn't make good use of it, he would have been a waste of himself to be an official in the capital step by step for a few years and then add a title of Grand Secretary in the cabinet.
Moreover, everything is fine now, and there is no need to arrange for individuals to guard there.
Especially Yan Maoqing, who was subdued by Zhu Zai-ji, has been transferred from the position of Minister of Justice to the position of Minister of Revenue.
He is good at managing finances, but now he is in the midst of the Ministry of Revenue. He not only does his job well, but also actively promotes the Ministry of Revenue to create some new tax rules. ，以适应当今的财政需要。
For example, the commercial tax that Zhu Zaiyan had always wanted to collect and the land tax of gentry and landlords, Yan Maoqing was secretly planning and designing, and now he was only waiting for a suitable opportunity.
It can be said that treacherous ministers like Yan Maoqing and Zhao Wenhua who were originally placed in the column of corrupt officials were particularly useful and easy when they were actually used.
So, sometimes Zhu Zaiji couldn't help but wonder whether these corrupt officials had some abilities that made people love them.
Otherwise, how could the so-called wise monarchs in history do more or less with corrupt officials or cruel officials?
It can be seen from this that when looking at history, we cannot simply use the sentence "loyalty, treacherous, black and white" to directly evaluate the historical value of a historical figure.
So, Yan Maoqing has now rejuvenated his second spring and found his new life goals and motivation for survival.
So when considering Zhao Zhenji's appointment, Zhu Zai-je had to spend more time than usual.
Zhu Zaiji planned to turn the idea of setting up a full-time Grand Secretary to serve as the governor of Southern Zhili into reality as he had previously imagined.
Zhao Zhenji is a serious Hanlin family. She was promoted to a Grand Secretary, whether it was internal or external, and it was reasonable and had nothing to say.
So it seems that Zhao Zhenji was given the title of Grand Secretary first, making him the highest executive in Nanjing. He is specifically responsible for the administrative work of the court in Nanjing and the six southern provinces, which seems to be a good choice.
After all, Nanjing has been in a leisurely life outside Beijing for a long time. The six ministers of the ministry and the eunuchs and nobles in charge of the Nanjing Garrison Hall have lived a very comfortable life.
They seemed to be like mice without natural enemies there, and they were willing to do things like frivolous things in Nanjing and across the south under the banner of the court and the palace. The impact was really bad.
Therefore, in order to change this situation, Zhu Zaiji had to put a curse on these people to make them clear that Nanjing is still the Nanjing of the imperial court, and that there is not a court in Nanjing.
Zhu Zaiyu looked at Zhao Zhenji and said, "Very good, I am the attitude of yourselves. I hope you can really live up to what I hope, and do something that I am worthy of the orphan, the court, and the emperor. The achievements are coming. After a few days, I and Your Majesty have discussed your new place with the cabinet. You keep your passion now and create another new achievements for the Ming Dynasty! "
