Chapter 126, the Yellow River's big stroke
To tell the truth, few people in the Ming Emperor died of normal old age!
In addition to Zhu Yuanzhang, there is also Zhu Qizhen!
As for the rest, either they died of illness or were poisoned!
Even if Emperor Zhengde was in his last life, his emperor father was poisoned by the wrong medicine by Imperial Doctor Gao!
Emperor Zhengde was deeply suspicious, it was not surprising that a doctor who had worked all his life would take the wrong medicine, but he could take the wrong emperor's medicine...... No one dares to say that there are no ghosts in this!
Even if it's himself...... He still didn't expect that the palace was so full of holes and was infiltrated so deeply.
Although his martial arts are world-renowned, he is also protected by An Lu, the world's top secret weapon master, light skill master, and great poisoner, and he himself is also a strange sect miscellaneous science, proficient in countless things.
But he was still terrified these days.
He is not only worried about himself, but also about Empress Zhang!
Therefore, the palace ban must be rectified!
Emperor Zhengde occasionally ridiculed that if there was no such phenomenon of stuffing people into the palace at will, maybe there would be no him!
And so it is.
Because, Emperor Hongzhi's mother, Ji, was captured into the palace!
She was originally a maid of Guangxi Tusi, but she was favored by Xianzong once because of her beauty.
It's wonderful!
The reality that no one mentions inside is that whoever cuts two taels of meat may enter the palace, and no one dares to guarantee whether a palace maid is a spy sent by the enemy, or a sinister seed who has not been carefully destroyed.
Just by hooking the devil in the hearts of these people a little, can they quietly take the emperor's puppy's life?
Quite possibly!
Now that Emperor Zhengde knows, he wants to change!
Re-establish the rules!
Everyone in the palace is forbidden to check their identities! From then on, the eunuchs and palace maids ...... It must be strictly assessed, carefully traced, and repeatedly confirmed before it is eligible to enter the palace.
Rather lack than excess! At this time, it is indeed a good time to adjust the manpower in the palace forbidden.
Because, the Empress Dowager passed away, and there are only two masters in the palace who really need to be served, one is Emperor Zhengde and the other is Empress Zhang. After Queen Zhang gives birth, there will be one more Royal Highness or one more princess.
These people, at the same time, do not need to consider unemployment and other factors, and are all arranged by Zhengde to go to Huangzhuang. As long as these people stay away from Ouchi, even if the risk factors are removed.
For the rest, check it out slowly!
Moreover, after letting these people out, wouldn't it be easier for some guys with ghosts to contact the outside?
Does it count as luring a snake out of a hole?
Of course, the biggest problem in the palace confinement is not that it is easy to be planted with spies, but that these poor fellows are easy to be bought!
Therefore, the supervision mechanism that Liu Jin came up with is very useful!
In fact, the best way is that there are no palace maids and eunuchs at all, and all of them are professionals.
It's a pity......
Unrealistic!
Fortunately, there is no danger, after Emperor Zhengde made such a show, most of the eunuchs and palace maids were loyal, not only were they transferred away in question, but they also got a few spies!
A few were sent by North Korea, and a few turned out to be sent by Myanmar and Annan.
Emperor Zhengde immediately moved his mind, these places ...... Do you want to reprimand?
After thinking about it for a while, I will wait until the time of the exploration and trade, and then clean up these scum!
However, although the palace has been deserted recently, it has made the little emperor Zhengde feel a lot more at ease.
After tossing like this for more than half a month, there has been no news of Xiao Jing, let alone a clue to poisoning, which makes Emperor Zhengde a little annoyed.
Early in the morning, the four ministers of the cabinet came and persuaded Emperor Zhengde to convene a grand court meeting.
After thinking about it, Emperor Zhengde agreed.
———— subparagraph————
The so-called Great Dynasty Meeting, including the Late Dynasty during the Hongzhi period, is nothing more than a formality to highlight the necessary political situation.
At the court meeting, few people will seriously explode a few mines, and it is almost impossible to have an emergency.
All that is announced, promulgated, and adopted at the Great Council is basically after prior deliberation, or something is constantly tempting the opinions of the ministers.
However, this form is inevitable.
Through the Great Dynasty Meeting, it represents a kind of meaning - everyone has passed it here, which not only represents the sacredness and legitimacy of this matter, but also represents that this matter is in line with etiquette, law, and affection, and can almost be regarded as a national policy.
To put it bluntly, here went the form, after passing...... It means that everyone agrees with this matter, and whoever dares to oppose it and who dares to drag it back is making a political mistake, and everyone can attack it as a group!
Not only will there be no psychological baggage, but it will also be able to make some political achievements.
In view of this, Emperor Zhengde immediately moved his mind, and he instructed Liu Jin to pass on Jiao Fang.
To be honest, Emperor Zhengde was embarrassed at this time. As the emperor, he only has one available dogleg for Jiao Fang...... How can this work?
However, as an emperor, there is no shortage of people!
The crux of the matter is that who can play a role, how to use people well, and who is the most appropriate to use are the things that Emperor Zhengde needs to think about.
So, he wasn't in a hurry at all.
Soon, Jiao Fang arrived, and Emperor Zhengde smiled and asked Jiao Fang to sit down on the brocade pier that he had already set up, and said, "I called Aiqing to come today to discuss a few things with Aiqing......
"One is the dredging of the Yellow River and its diversion of its course."
"But I mean I might as well make things bigger!"
Jiao Fang was taken aback!
In previous years, Daming wanted to control water dredging, but it didn't cost much. Its main expenditure lies in materials and in the rations of the workers.
Because, the peasants need to serve as a laborer!
But Zhengde put forward a suggestion this time, abolishing forced labor, but all the peasant households who went to work were given subsidies, and if there was a risk of disability and death, the imperial court would give them a pension.
If you do that, you'll have to spend a lot of money!
But this is not the main reason why Jiao Fang was surprised!
Zhengde has prepared a budget of nearly 200 million yuan for this purpose, starting from the Ningxia section, vegetation on the Loess Plateau all the way upstream, dredging tributaries downstream, digging deep rivers, and repairing embankments.
Only in this way will the Yellow River not become a disaster in the Central Plains for the next thousand years.
The Central Plains will truly become the business center of Daming!
This plan not only involves national defense and security, but also involves the relocation of peasant households, and more importantly, a series of ...... such as land property rights In Jiao Fang's opinion, it is an incompleteable difficulty.
Because, in conjunction with the implementation of this plan, it is not only necessary to build border defenses in the Hetao, but also to relocate many coastal residents in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong.
Then five kilometers of vegetation in two sections of the Yellow River!
At the same time, whether it is Huaishui, whirlpool, Yingshui, canal, the dredging of the dredging, the deep excavation of the deep excavation......
After calculation, what Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, in the face of this huge project, they are all masters.
Jiao Fang almost scared stupid!
If he really completes this great initiative, not to mention that he Jiao's family will be thousands of years from now, I am afraid that after 10,000 years, someone will give him Jiao Fang a monument of merit and set up an immortal shrine!
But the problem is also here, this credit is too great, he can't eat his scorched aconitum and scorched face!
And, Your Majesty, where did you get so much money?
