He drove away a group of ministers, especially now that he was already 65 years old, and he could not finish a sentence in one breath and would unconsciously lead the person to a deviation. He even left with the support of the eunuch, making Zhou Yu a little confused about what the old man was like.

When talking, a few words are paused, and a sentence is paused, not to give people a steady and solid, but it makes people feel that this old man is a little lacking in energy. However, when walking, he walks so vigorously and looks like a middle-aged man. The contrast is quite strong.

"Xing'an, go and call Ma Shun to me."

Xing'an responded and jogged out and issued the order. Not long after, Ma Shun hurried to the Ganqing Palace.

"My Me, please come to the Emperor."

As soon as Ma Shun entered the door, he knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.

Zhou Yu looked at him and looked radiant as if there was something happy, and he couldn't help but be curious: "Speak for me if you have anything happy."

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Ma Shun also smiled: "Reply to the emperor's words, maybe he had a happy family event when he saw Hong. He just heard a letter from the servant at home saying that it was Neizi who gave birth to a fat boy to the minister."

"That's a happy event." Zhou Yu smiled and said, "In addition, you have made great contributions to me and I want to reward you. In this way, I will add a joy to you to make you happy and send you the order to give Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, the third-class earl, Xuan Weibo, and the python uniform."

Ma Shun didn't expect that there would be such a surprise. He would not be promoted. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, he would not think about being promoted. He would be promoted without being promoted. This was simply a surprise from heaven.

Ma Shun knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Yu, saying gratefully: "Thank you for your grace!"

Zhou Yu waved his hand and signaled him to stand up: "Ma Shun, I have something to leave to you."

Ma Shun stood up and his eyes were joyful but his face became serious, and he said respectfully: "Please give me the order, I will do my best."

Zhou Yu: "I want you to choose a group of Jinyiwei, who is better familiar with the sea situation. I want them to pretend to be pirates and Japanese pirates. On the one hand, they can sneak into the coast of Japan to find out the news, and on the other hand, they can also treat the person with the same way."

Ma Shun was stunned and then understood: "The emperor means to let our people pretend to be pirates and go to Japan to rob? If the Japanese pirates rob us, we will pretend to be Japanese pirates and rob them?"

Zhou Yu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, in recent years, there have been rampant pirates around the Ming Dynasty. Not only are there real Japanese pirates, but there are also fake Japanese pirates. These people have repeatedly invaded the coast of our Ming Dynasty. I would not believe that these Japanese pirates do not support the Japanese pirates."

"The people you send out not only need to get in and find out the details of these pirates and pirates, especially the pirate strongholds, the number of ships, and their relationship with those daimyos in Japan, but also need to develop their own fleets. Whether they annex other pirate groups or develop themselves, as long as they can develop, it doesn't matter if they can mobilize the Shenji Camp to help in the past."

Ma Shun immediately understood Zhou Yu's intention when he heard this and bowed: "I understand. I will choose the most suitable and loyal person, and I will definitely live up to the emperor's entrusted!"

Zhou Yu nodded and continued, "Remember, this matter must be kept confidential and must not let anyone know that I have sent someone to pretend to be a pirate. Be careful not to reveal your identity."

Ma Shun nodded solemnly: "I understand! Your Majesty Don't worry, the Jinyiwei is all aloof men who will never let the emperor down!"

Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction: "I believe in Jinyiwei. If this matter is done well, I will reward you with great rewards. You can also tell them that as long as they make meritorious service, I will not be stingy with the title. If they die outside in battle while they are in charge, the title will be inherited by their family and will enter Yingling to enjoy the incense of the world."

Ma Shun's face was as he bowed quickly: "Thank you, my brothers, first, the emperor!"

Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Go down and prepare, remember, be careful when this matter is important."

"Yes, the emperor!" Ma Shun saluted again, then turned around and withdrew from the Ganqing Palace.

Zhou Yu leaned against the soft couch and gently rubbed his temples. Seeing this, Xing'an hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Zhou Yu waved his hand: "When is it now?"

"It's already the hour of the first hour."

Zhou Yu seemed to realize it and suddenly said, "It's already this time, let's pass on the meal."

After a busy day, it was time to have dinner. Many things happened this day. Zhou Yu felt obvious sleepiness as soon as he finished supper. Under the service of the palace maid, he slept until the next morning.

Zhou Yu still didn't go to court when he got up early, but he would find him on his head if he didn't do anything. As soon as he finished breakfast, the cabinet ministers who had nothing to do came over together.

Zhou Yu just put down the chopsticks and thought about resting for a while before leaving and returning to Nanyuan. However, before he got up, he saw Xing'an hurriedly walking in with a little helpless look on his face.

"Emperor, Mr. Chen came with several ministers, saying that he was... something important to report."

Zhou Yu smiled helplessly when he heard this. After the old man became a cabinet, he seemed to have a second spring again. He couldn't hold back at all. Are he going to make up everything while he finally came back?

"Let them go to the imperial study room and wait."

Xing'an responded and hurried out to pass the message. Zhou Yu slowly drank a cup of tea before getting up and went to the imperial study room.

As soon as the ministers who were waiting inside came in, they saluted Zhou Yu.

"I will meet the emperor, long live the emperor."

Zhou Yu waved his hand and felt helpless: "Please calm down. I told you to have a good rest for a few months before. Now, as soon as I came back to the palace, you can't wait to come up and say, what's the reason for today."

Chen Xun bowed and said, "Emperor, I have indeed come here today. There are indeed several important things that need to be decided by the emperor."

Zhou Yu nodded and signaled him to continue.

Chen Xun cleared his throat and said slowly: "The first thing is about the Japanese envoy. Yesterday, the emperor agreed to enthrone Ashikaga Yoshimasa and restore trade relations. After returning, I discussed it carefully and felt that this matter should be cautious."

Zhou Yu heard this and raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Chen, is it because of the peace and tranquility of the coast? Others think so too?"

Whether or not trade or not is actually not important. What is important is whether it will lead to a surge in pirates and affect coastal tranquility.

Originally, everyone thought that this matter should be carefully considered. Chen Xun was also older and thought more, so he wanted to persuade Zhou Yu to think about it carefully before making arrangements. Naturally, he received support from other ministers. But now Zhou Yu suddenly asked back and forth, it seemed that everyone felt that this was no big deal.

Lord Jiang immediately bowed: "Everything will be decided by the emperor, and I will do my best to serve the emperor."

Others also expressed their opinions.

Zhou Yu smiled: "I know this in my mind and you don't need to discuss it anymore. You just need to choose a suitable place to trade and talk about the next thing."

Chen Xun was helpless and said: "The second thing is about the northern border. Recently, a spy came to report that although Tuotuobuhua signed an agreement with our Ming Dynasty on behalf of various Mongolian ministries, there are many internal disputes and conflicts. I am worried that if there is continued turmoil within Mongolia, some tribes may take the risk of going south to invade our Ming Dynasty border."

Zhou Yu frowned slightly when he heard this: "Mongolia is in chaos? Why is it so chaotic so quickly?"

Chen Xun sighed: "Emperor, the Mongolian tribes have always been in charge. Although Tuotuobuhua signed an agreement with our Ming Dynasty, its internal conflicts have not been resolved. It has also caused shortage of materials due to the defeat and compensation. The land north has also come this year. It has a late spring that has a great impact on the grassland. Moreover, some tribes are willing to not invade our Ming Dynasty like Tuotuobuhua, but there are also tribes who hate our Ming Dynasty and Na Yesen."

"In addition, there are many people in the grassland who have doubts about the joint construction of the Ming Dynasty and the grassland, and they have to be careful of the situation in the grassland."

Zhou Yu nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "I will send my will to ask Tutuobuhua, and I will also order the border guards to strengthen their vigilance."

Chen Xun bowed and said, "Yes, the emperor."

Zhou Yu waved his hand and asked, "Has the matter of trading with the grassland been arranged?"

"The mutual market has been open for more than two months and everything is stable."

"Well, what else is there."

Chen Xun hesitated for a moment, and the other cabinet ministers looked at each other but did not dare to say anything. Only the old minister Chen Xun whispered: "Your Majesty, there is another thing...is about the floods in Jiangnan."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned: "The flood in Jiangnan?"

"Recently, heavy rains have been falling in many places in Jiangnan, and rivers have flooded and people are displaced. My ministers and others believe that they should allocate funds for disaster relief as soon as possible to avoid public resentment."

"Why are you reporting it now?"

Chen Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has just been reported urgently. I dare not delay the delay before coming to report it early."

Zhou Yu sighed and rubbed his temples: "I sent my order to order the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds for disaster relief immediately, and make sure that the people have food available and houses to live in. In addition, I will send someone to find out which places are the most severely affected. I will personally inquire about it and establish a second working group for floods to be responsible for this matter. After the floods are relieved, they will be incorporated into the first working group for water treatment."

"yes."

There are not many things, but they are all very important. In fact, even if Zhou Yu doesn't come back, he will send the news to Nanyuan for him to know.

However, there was nothing to do after the third thing was said, and Zhou Yu happened to discuss with the cabinet about the expansion of the palace.

It was fine before the matter was over at noon. Perhaps it was because the people from the cabinet knew the right way and did not continue to disturb Zhou Yu, otherwise they would have taken out various comments and government affairs every day and dragged Zhou Yu until the evening.

After seeing off the cabinet, Zhou Yu was also ready to leave and return to Nanyuan. As soon as he came out of the palace, Zhou Yu saw Nangong standing in front of the palace from the open window of the carriage at a glance.

This place that was supposed to be imprisoned by Zhu Qizhen for ten years is a reduced version of the imperial palace.

Zhou Yu's memories still had some memories of Nangong, and suddenly noticed that Nangong Zhou Yu suddenly became interested.

"Xing'an, go to Nangong to have a look."

Xing'an responded quickly when he heard Zhou Yu's order, and then ordered the coachman to turn around and drive towards Nangong.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Nangong Gate. Zhou Yu got out of the car and looked up at the slightly old palace. Although the Nangong was not as large as the imperial palace, it was still magnificent, but it was a little less popular and seemed a little deserted.

When the guards outside the door saw Zhou Yu, they immediately knelt on the ground and shouted long live the emperor.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and walked towards the palace gate. When he saw Zhou Yu's actions, Xing'an quickly waved his hand and asked the guard to open the palace gate for Zhou Yu.

Walking into Nangong's eyes, Zhou Yu didn't have much emotion or thoughts in his heart. This place was nothing special to him, but there were traces of what seemed to have lived here in his childhood memories.

Xing'an followed Zhou Yu and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, no one has lived here for a long time. Do you want someone to clean it thoroughly?"

Zhou Yu nodded slowly: "Well, you look at the arrangement, or you haven't been to this place for a long time. When you see it again today, you realize that this Nangong is several times larger than that of Prince Hui's Mansion."

Xing'an lowered his head and responded without saying a word, and just wandered around aimlessly behind Zhou Yu.

Walking slowly along the corridor, Zhou Yu was also looking at everything that could be seen.

"Xing'an, after cleaning this place, you can start to gradually seal the things in the palace."

"Okay Emperor."

Zhou Yu walked along the way and the palace maids and eunuchs who were responsible for various things in Nangong also knelt down along the way, and did not dare to raise their heads.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu's steps were staring at a figure kneeling on the ground. He looked at his age who was only about thirty years old but his whole body was filled with a deep dusk aura. He looked different from the other palace maids and eunuchs in the Nangong. He seemed to have seen all kinds of storms and waves.

It was this behavior that was completely different from others that made this person stand out among the eunuchs. If such a person was not wearing an ordinary eunuch uniform, but a manager, it might also show that he had seen the world, but in Zhou Yu's current situation, this eunuch was too strange.

Zhou Yu raised his hand and pointed to the very strange eunuch. Seeing this, Xing'an walked over and kicked the other party gently: "He raised his head and replied."

The eunuch slowly raised his head, looked at Xing'an and then looked at Zhou Yu and kowtowed again: "I kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor."

“Stand up.”

The eunuch slowly stood up but did not dare to straighten his waist. He bent over and looked like a servant with a terrible leg, and a slightly unnatural smile on his face.

The eunuch should be like this, but not all eunuchs will look like this. It is hard for Zhou Yu to imagine the scene of Daban Cheng Jing's appearance as if she was like a traitor. It is also very unnatural for this person to show such a look.

It's like a piece of shiny gold thrown into a pile of stones, and you can see the difference clearly at a glance.

This is a strange person. When Zhou Yu saw him, he felt all kinds of inconsistencies in this person at the first glance.
