Several emperors also gained an understanding of their future path.

Of course, the result is good and there are also losses.

But overall, even the lost people have nothing to blame for the emperor.

To be honest, Liu Mingqi didn't care whether they were unhappy.

What he wants is a real person who does things. If he can't stand this adjustment, it's better to change to a better person to play.

So Liu Mingqi also turned to another discussion issue today.

Military Affairs.

The young man said: "I am interested in establishing a new maritime yamen. I need a mature and steady minister to support me. Who do you think is the most suitable?"

Cao Yi asked in reverse: "Your Majesty, what kind of rank is the leader of this maritime yamen? Can the jurisdiction involve the navy?"

"It is very important to open up the maritime business road and provide a better living environment for my Dakang people, so I want to be the second-rank official. What do you think?" Liu Mingqi said: "As for the scope of jurisdiction, the sea is greater than the water, of course it is necessary to govern the naval army. Now I don't like the naval army in the north and south, and I don't take heavy measures to rectify it. I am afraid that in thirty or fifty years, we will not have a naval army that can resist the enemy."

The five prime ministers agreed with Liu Mingqi's subsequent words.

Zhang Gongli, the governor of the Northern Navy, has the ability, but the control of the Navy is not enough. Otherwise, there would be no mistakes in the initial grain case involving the Northern Navy, and the Japanese pirates were forced to land in Jiangsu.

As for Xiao Chang, the governor of the Southern Navy, he has no merits and mediocre abilities. He has many pirates in the south, but he cannot be wiped out. This is also the reason why everyone is dissatisfied.

Especially what you, the navy cannot do, was done by a civilian armed team last year, and the big guys felt embarrassed.

But what Liu Mingqi said earlier is that the helmsman of the Maritime Office is a second-ranked official, which is a bit unusual.

The Great Kang Zu system, the Prime Minister was the first rank, the Deputy Prime Minister was the second rank, the governor of all walks of life, the nine imperial guards, and the six ministers were all the second rank.

I haven't heard of any boss in the yamen who is a second-ranked rank.

What's the difference between this and sending a prime minister to take care of it?

However, Cao Yi immediately thought of Liu Mingqi's meaning, "Your Majesty, what you mean is that since you want to take charge of two second-rank naval governors, you must be one level higher than them, right?"

"There are considerations in this regard." Liu Mingqi said first: "There is also the maritime yamen in the future, which is more important than you think. The benefits I gained through the maritime yamen will definitely be unimaginable, so I am not at ease if there is no important minister equivalent to the prime minister."

Liu Mingqi is not old, but everyone knows that he will not lie.

Because Liu Mingqi has the talent for doing business, you can tell this from the business of Prince Yu’s Mansion.

He became the richest man in the world in two or three years. Do you think it’s amazing?

Therefore, the Prime Ministers are looking forward to such great gains from the Maritime Office.

Zhong Chang wanted to say at this time, why don’t I go there.

But it is obvious that Liu Mingqi said in advance that there was an arrangement for him, so this candidate must not be him.

Liu Mingqi may have already had someone she likes, but this does not mean that this person can definitely pass the test. The prime ministers can also propose candidates they think are suitable and then compete with each other.

Obviously, this list is actually quite narrow.

First of all, this official must be from the second rank, not the third rank, otherwise you will be promoted to two levels in one go, directly suppressing the two governors of the North and South Navy. The key is that the generals of the Navy, the big and small will not be convinced by you.

Ma Haoqiu got the promise, so he was the first to cater to the emperor and spoke: "I believe that Tang Hui, the general of Longteng Guard, is rigorous and upright, and is a good candidate."

"It goes without saying that Tang Hui's character and ability are, but he is too square, right?" Cao Yi shook his head and said, "A person like this is not suitable for such a positive and vigorous yamen as Dahai."

"Or it's Li Nanyuan?" Zhong Chang said again.

"Li Nanyuan's style is too radical, I'm afraid he will be anxious or something." Ge Songdao directly denied it.

"So what about Fang Kaiyue?" Liu Renhuai asked, "He is a suitable age, and is one of the nine generals. He has also made extraordinary achievements, and his prestige and ability are enough."

Compared with the first two, Fang Kaiyue is indeed the most suitable, so no one objected.

Looking at Liu Mingqi again, Liu Mingqi chuckled and said, "Fang Kaiyue is my old acquaintance, I like him very much. But I still have another candidate... What do you think of Xiong Wenqing, the Governor of Gyeonggi?"

"Xiong Wenqing?"

Cao Yi subconsciously wanted to say that Xiong Wenqing is not a long-time general in the army, how could he command the navy?

But then I thought about it, when the situation was critical the year before yesterday, Xiong Wenqing not only led his army to station in Hebei and Shanhaiguan, but also led a large army from Shanhaiguan to attack Ningyuan City in the last battle in the northeast, making great achievements for the Wei coalition forces in the annihilation of the Ningyuan City.

Such people are also civil and military talents.

"wonderful!"

Cao Yi's mind had not turned much, and Ma Haoqiu clapped her hands over and said, "I'm worried that Fang Kaiyue's age and qualifications are not enough, and I'm afraid she can't suppress the North and South Navy. If it were Xiong Bozhen, it would be fine. The dignified Governor of the Gyeonggi and the Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Grand Governor of the Maritime Office, is enough to serve as the Grand Governor of the Maritime Affairs Office."

What Ma Haoqiu said makes sense.

If Liu Mingqi pushed Xiong Wenqing out, then Fang Kaiyue would definitely lose Xiong Wenqing a lot.

Not to mention Xiong Wenqing has experience in managing local affairs. The maritime yamen is not only fighting, but also managing the commerce of the voyage and managing the products of major workshops... These happen to be Fang Kaiyue's shortcomings.

So Zhong Chang nodded: "Indeed, if you need to take care of all aspects, Xiong Bozhen is the most suitable."

Both deputy ministers agreed to the candidate proposed by the emperor, so the rest of the people will not stop him - there is Xiong Wenqing's love.

Xiong Wenqing is very good at doing things, and he is already fifty-three years old. Two years ago, he was delayed for three years due to the grain case. Now he has the opportunity to be promoted to a second-rank official. Whoever stops him? That will really offend people to death.

But Cao Yi added another sentence, "Just to say that the Grand Commander is not nice, it is similar to the title of Gao Jing, the embroidered robe guard. Since you are all planning to be a second-rank official, then just hold a deputy prime minister! Such an important position is not reassuring, it is not worthy of reassurance."

Since it was Xiong Wenqing, it would not be too much to give out a prime minister.

Anyway, Cao Yi also realized that this young emperor did not have much restrictions on the quota of prime ministers. He would not have to maintain a balance like Jing and Emperor.

In fact, even if the four previous prime ministers were very diligent, they still had many things that they could not take care of. The number of prime ministers was a little more clear and they could divide the labor more clearly, which might be a good thing.

Everyone nodded one after another.

Anyway, they are all second-class, and the inside has been given, so how can the appearance be worse?

"That's good!"

Liu Mingqi was very satisfied, "Let Xiong Wenqing do it! But this requires him to leave the capital and go east, and he will be busy."

"It's good to be busy, but it's uncomfortable when you're free." Zhong Chang said with a smile: "Xiong Bozhen is full of ambitions, and now he has a place to display."

After laughing, things were not over.

Cao Yi asked, "Your Majesty, Xiong Wenqing has been appointed as the governor of Gyeonggi. Who are you going to take over?"

"I think the three you mentioned just now are pretty good." Liu Mingqi waved her hand at this time, "Of course, it may not be them. You guys go down and discuss it and see who is the most suitable one."

As the emperor, you can't eat all the meat in it.

After getting the position of deputy minister in charge of the maritime affairs office and Gyeonggi Governor, we don’t have to take it together, and we have to respect the opinions of the prime ministers.

The five prime ministers looked at each other and nodded.

This emperor knows the principle of dividing and being unrestrained. He is not the kind of arrogant personality that wants to decide everything, so that's good.

As an emperor, he is too stubborn and has to do everything according to his own personality. It is definitely a disaster for a mature court mechanism.

They didn't want Liu Mingqi to start doing whatever she wanted at such a young age.

The rule of Dakang is that the emperor must be restricted by the prime minister and ministers.

...

Overall, the atmosphere of the conversation was relaxed.

Seeing that the main thing was almost over, Cao Yi coughed and said, "Your Majesty, you have been busy preparing for the throne during this period, but it has been hard for you. Therefore, some things have not been mentioned to you by the ministers... You should have almost settled the question of the candidate for this queen, right?"

"There is also the matter of increasing the number of concubines in the palace, and it should be put on the agenda." Zhong Chang said with a wry smile, "A few days ago, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager of the Holy Mother mentioned this to me! There are only five concubines in the palace, how can this be done?"

The Empress Dowager is the Grandma of the Emperor.

The Queen Mother of the Holy Mother is naturally the Empress of Emperor Jinghe.

In addition, Liu Mingqi also has a kind mother, Empress Dowager, who is Princess Yu, and his biological mother.

As for the relationship between King Yu and him, it is a bit complicated, so the title is still under consideration recently.

It is impossible for two emperors to appear, right?

But this is not a headache for Liu Mingqi, so I will leave it to the Ministry of Rites to discuss and deal with it first.

After the Ministry of Rites had discussed it, it would be handed over to the Taihuang and later to review.

In the end, Liu Mingqi decided on it himself, but it was not a final decision. She had to come up with a result that everyone could accept.

Anyway, no matter what, Liu Mingqi could not have caused any "great etiquette" because of this.

The boy's interest is not innumerable women at all.

His mind is still on governing the country and developing, so when he heard this, he refused: "The candidate for the queen is for you, the Prime Minister and the Queen Mother, please discuss it. I have no objection... But there is no need to say more about the concubines in the palace, I won't add them!

Good luck with the daughters born by others, you ask them to marry into the palace and wait for the emperor to see them every day. Some people can't see the emperor for ten days, half a month, or even a year and a half. How cruel is this? Such a few concubines are enough, so don't mention them again in the future!"

The five prime ministers were stunned.

They never expected that such words would be said by an emperor.

But Ge Songdao did not have any taboos and exclaimed directly: "Your Majesty has such thoughts, which is rare in ancient and modern times, and it is also a blessing in the world!"

Ge Songdao also understood the meaning of this. Throughout history, the emperor's great sins have been to women.

Liu Mingqi, now Ke Jian, will definitely not be a person with a lot of desires, and the chance of becoming a fool will be greatly reduced in the future.

It would not be like many emperors from all dynasties who were enterprising when they were young, but middle-aged and old people began to be extravagant and only focused on enjoyment, but they caused a large amount of financial and material resources in the world, causing dynasty turmoil.
