Disharmony between civil and military officials has always been a taboo in officialdom, especially when a powerful enemy is present.
The rift between Wu Wendao and Cao Fengnian has already formed, and it is impossible to repair it.
It's just that Wu Wendao didn't want to completely fall out with Cao Fengnian at this juncture, so he still maintained the most basic relationship on the surface.
Of course, you still have to fight those who report behind your back.
His handwritten letter impeaching Cao Fengnian for being domineering and doing whatever he wanted has been sent to the governor's office.
I believe Governor Du will see this letter soon.
The governor will definitely be furious at that time.
Is Cao Fengnian as awesome as the governor?
Governor Du is a ruthless person who can even kill Zuo Liangyu.
He will be afraid of a mere Yunyang general.
Of course, Wu Wendao also knew that changing generals before the battle was a taboo for military strategists.
The governor would not replace Cao Fengnian unless absolutely necessary.
As long as he kills his spirit and earns some face for Wu Wendao, he will be satisfied.
He believed that Governor Du, who was also a civil servant, would definitely be on his side.
Nanjing Forbidden City.
Zhu Cixiang officially announced the appointment of his eldest son Zhu Heyuan as the crown prince at the court meeting, which was announced to the world.
He originally wanted to wait a little longer until Yuan'er reached the age of 10 before performing the canonization ceremony.
However, some ministers advised that the emperor should appoint a prince earlier to consolidate the country's foundation and calm the people's hearts, so Zhu Cihong agreed.
The crown prince's canonization ceremony was very complicated, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy for a long time before the ceremony was completed.
Not only the officials but also Zhu Cixiang himself were very tired.
But there is no way, the royal family has its own royal etiquette.
If the etiquette for such an important event as establishing a crown prince is not complicated, it will not reflect the royal dignity.
After the court meeting, Zhu Cixi came to Kunning Palace to tell the queen the good news.
Although he knew that his son would become the prince sooner or later, Tongtang could not hide his excitement after hearing the news.
That is the crown prince, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the next emperor of the Holy Emperor.
His son will rule the world in the future and become a wise king.
Definitely will After hugging the prince, Zhu Cihong handed Zhu Heyuan to the nanny, and enjoyed the rare alone time with Tongtang.
"Your Majesty, I have already tried the flying shuttle loom you ordered me to make last time, and it is very useful.
I wonder if Your Majesty can order the Ministry of Industry to make more, so I can order the palace people to weave it in the palace.
Cloth to supplement food and clothing expenses.”
Tongtang's idea is not without precedent.
Zhu Cixi's mother once led the maids to weave cloth in the palace to reduce the cost of the harem.
Tongtang did this because he wanted to share the burden for him.
"I'm sure.
I'll ask the Ministry of Industry to make two hundred shuttle looms and send them to your palace.
But there's one thing you have to promise me."
Zhu Cixiang said harmoniously.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"When it comes to weaving, you must do it according to your ability, and you must not tire yourself out.
Otherwise, I will not allow you to weave anymore."
Although the tone was an order, Zhu Cixiang's eyes were filled with deep affection and sweetness.
Tongtang couldn't help but blush, nodded slightly and said, "I obey the order."
"Okay, come with me for a walk in the Royal Garden."
Zhu Cixi took Tongtang's hand and said softly.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the Military Intelligence Department" Zhu Cihong and Tongtang were relaxing in the imperial garden when Han Zanzhou suddenly ran over and knelt down, holding a letter high above his head.

Zhu Cixi couldn't help but frown.
Coming to Feng Jizuo at this time is really a disgrace to the scenery.
However, state affairs were important and he could not delay.
He took the urgent report and opened the envelope to read it.
After reading it for a while, he said angrily: "Zheng Zhilong, this guy is so shameless."
Tongtang couldn't help but become nervous and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
"Zheng Zhilong sent his navy to dress up as Japanese pirates and go to the southeast coast to plunder wantonly."
Zhu Cixiang sighed, his words full of helplessness.
Zheng Zhilong was originally a pirate, and most of his subordinates were originally pirates.
Naturally, there was no difficulty in pretending to be a Japanese pirate this time.
As for the reason, it's not hard to guess.
First, the food supply in Guangdong and Guangxi was limited, and the food delivered by King Gui to Zheng Zhilong was not enough.
Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to rob in order to keep food supply.
Secondly, Zheng Zhilong also wanted to create chaos in the southeast to distract the court's attention, create opportunities for King Gui to raise troops, and buy time.
But this method is too shameless.
"ah" Tongtang was shocked.
She had heard a little about what Zheng Zhilong had done recently, but she didn't expect that this guy was so bold that he dared to order people to dress up as Japanese pirates and plunder the southeast.
"Your Majesty, please go and deal with the state affairs quickly.
I will be out of the way here."
Zhu Cixiang nodded.
Tongtang is still very sensible.
"Han Banban, Lu Zhenfei, Minister of the Ministry of Propaganda and War, please come to see me."
In the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Cixiang stared at the map with frowning eyes.
He took a charcoal pencil and clicked and circled around the southeastern provinces, feeling extremely complicated.
"Your Majesty, Zheng Zhilong's move is intended to disperse the imperial court's forces.
If your Majesty mobilizes a large army to guard the southeast, the pressure on the north will be greater."
Lu Zhenfei analyzed: "It is better to send the Denglai Navy there.
The problems in the southeast are at sea, not on land."
Lu Zhenfei's words still make sense.
The reason why Zheng Zhilong is powerful is because of his navy.
His attack on the southeast will definitely only be in the coastal area and will not go deep.
Even if Zhu Cixiang sent an army of Tigers and Ben soldiers to suppress the enemy, Zheng Zhilong would not order anyone to engage in a head-on confrontation.
By then, Zheng Zhilong's men had grabbed the money and food, boarded the boat and left, and the imperial army could only stare.
But if Denglai Navy is sent, the situation will be completely different.
If Zheng Zhilong's ship wants to escape, Denglai Navy can chase it.
As long as you want to catch up, you can always catch up.
"What I said makes sense.
But who should be sent to lead the navy?"
Zhu Cixi said calmly.
"I do have a candidate here, but" Seeing Lu Zhenfei's hesitation, Zhu Cihong cleared his throat and said, "I don't have to worry, but it doesn't matter."
Lu Zhenfei quickly raised his hands and said, "I obey the order.
The person I want to recommend is Zhu Chenggong."
Zhu Chenggong is naturally Zheng Chenggong.
Zhu Cihong once gave him the surname Zhu.
After the news that Zheng Zhilong secretly communicated with the Donglu, Zheng Chenggong was under a lot of pressure, but he finally survived and performed well in the battle to exterminate the Japanese pirates, winning the trust of the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, although this man is Zheng Zhilong's biological son, his loyalty to the imperial court can be seen from the sun and the moon.
And he is good at water warfare.
He is one of the few candidates available to the Ming Dynasty today.
It's just that his identity is a bit sensitive.
I I’m worried that it will be difficult for Your Majesty to do it here.”
Zhu Cihong knew what Lu Zhenfei was worried about, which was nothing more than the impeachment of the censors.
This group of officials disliked Zheng Chenggong.
After Zheng Zhilong secretly communicated with Donglu, they pursued Zheng Chenggong fiercely.
If Zhu Cixiang hadn't always supported Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong might have really collapsed
