Chapter 113: I'm not afraid of high merit! I'm afraid you don't have the ability!
"Your Majesty, don't you like women with small feet?" Tang Guifei asked cautiously.
"Like a monster."
Tang Yunyan was puzzled, Ling Bo took a slight step, Luo socks were dusty, didn't the king cherish his little feet?
She used to think that His Majesty didn't like her because of Bigfoot.
I didn't expect His Majesty to be so prejudiced against Little Feet, why?
"Aifei, if I abolish the little feet, what is your opinion?" Zhu Qiyu pulled her into the inner hall.
"Your Majesty, the women's temple is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the concubines dare not say it!"
"It's just small talk, I haven't thought about it, should it be abolished!" Zhu Qiyu asked her to help loosen her clothes, wash and lie down.
Tang Guifei cautiously looked at the emperor's expression, and said thoughtfully: "The concubine thinks that if Your Majesty doesn't like it, the world will be edicted and the footbound women will not be recruited into the palace, and the court will naturally follow suit, and the atmosphere will spread to the people, and it will naturally change imperceptibly." β
"The concubines think that if the people do not obey the holy decree of the temple, will you punish or not punish? If it is punished, the law does not hold the people responsible; If there is no punishment, the Holy Decree loses its credibility. β
"Your Majesty's opinion, please consider it."
Zhu Qiyu really listened to it, and bowed slightly: "Start from the palace, and I will lead by example." β
He leads by example with his mouth.
It was the next morning that he was facing upwards and was furious.
"Are you all fools? Send the little foot girl to the palace as a slave and maid, and let me serve them? Yes? β
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Do you have a long brain? β
"In the selection of palace maids in previous years, you never had small feet, don't you even have this common sense?"
"Official, official can't do well! Serve me, serve I don't understand! β
"What's the use of keeping you!"
Li Jian was deaf, and the small-footed palace maids were all kicked out of the palace.
Spread outside the palace, and some courtiers even wrote a suicide note in advance, waiting to be given death.
thought that the emperor took the opportunity of straightening up his little feet to empty the court.
However, listening to the emperor's words, it seems that he just dislikes the little foot daughter and can't take on the work in the palace? Not a complete abolition of foot binding?
Then does her daughter not need to enter the palace as a slave?
What a good thing!
"I ask you, why do you want to tie your daughter's feet?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.
"This ......"
No one can answer, it's a thousand-year-old custom, since Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, liked the three-inch golden lotus, and the wind of foot binding has risen wildly.
In the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, foot binding spread throughout the country, and the size of the foot became a yardstick to measure women's morality.
"What to pretend!"
Zhu Qiyu scolded suddenly: "It's because you like it!" β
"The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace!"
"You like it, so the people have to do the same!"
"Next time Jingcha, add one more, and if the wives and concubines and daughters of the hundred officials' families have small feet, they will be lowered by one level!"
"Drop to the worst, and be dismissed directly!"
This sentence stabbed the hornet's nest.
Many officials objected: "Your Majesty, how can a woman easily see people?" Didn't you force the woman to commit suicide to prove her innocence? β
There were many officials who opposed it, and even did not hesitate to clash with the emperor.
Even Li Xian couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the great defense of men and women must not be broken!" β
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed, looking at Geng Jiuchou and Bai Gui, who he valued, and the two of them bowed their heads silently, obviously not supporting.
wants to challenge the tradition, but he Zhu Qiyu is not qualified enough.
"Men and women are defenseless, naturally they can't be broken, and the palace will send my aunt to investigate."
Zhu Qiyu took a step back.
"Your Majesty, it will take time to change customs, many of the officials' families have wives and concubines who are small-footed, and their daughters are already bound by their feet, if you take this as a standard, I am afraid that most of the officials will be dismissed." Yu Shan said in a loud voice.
He likes small feet, and his wives and concubines are all small feet, if he follows the emperor's standards, he will definitely not be good, so he is resolutely opposed.
"Yu Shilang is right, if he abandons his wife and children because of Jingcha, how will these women survive?" Yi Ming should be reconciled.
Guanglu Temple Siqing Wei Neng said: "The aunt in the palace has gained power, and corruption will inevitably breed, take the opportunity to blackmail the eunuchs, and be a good Jingcha, but some women have stirred up the yellow, what kind of system has it become?" β
Many officials chimed in.
Zhu Qiyu watched their performance coldly.
Hu Hu lowered his head and kept silent, anyway, he has always been against women's foot binding, if His Majesty really gets rid of bad habits, it is not bad.
Only, is the real purpose of the emperor small feet?
Yu Qian was already on his way back to Beijing, and Fan Guang, who had moved to Sanguan, also came with the news of the camp, did the emperor want to use his little feet to interfere with Jingcha?
Used to contend with Yu Qian? Lord?
He always felt that it was not easy.
"If you have any excuses, say them!"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "If I say a word, you have a hundred words waiting for me!" β
"Have you forgotten what happened to Chen Xun?"
"If there's a problem, fix it!"
"If you can't solve it, I'll solve it with another group of people!"
"Anyway, there are a lot of people reading in the world, you don't want to stand here, get out!"
"There are so many people in the world who want to stand in the court! Work for me! β
At the mention of Chen Xun, Yu Shan, Yiming, and Wei Neng's faces changed, and they quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Yu Shan, do you want to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were gloomy, and he directly named him.
These days, I'm so good at talking, so you're floating again?
Forgot whose dog you are?
Give it some sunshine and it will shine!
"The old minister knows his mistake!" Yu Shan shuddered.
"Hmph, if you don't want to do it, just say it, I will allow you to tell the old man to return to his hometown, I don't know how many people in the government and the opposition are worried about your position!"
Zhu Qiyu said without yin or yang: "You are waiting too!" Don't think that I won't turn around if I leave your court? β
"That's what Wang Ao thought at the beginning? Chen Xun thinks the same way! Even the Emperor thinks so! β
"Now, what's wrong?"
"Whoever dies, Da Ming will not move forward the same! I will always be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! No one can change it! β
"What are you? Weigh it yourself! β
"Cabinet, make a charter, I hate little feet! Like a monster, a dignified woman of the Heavenly Dynasty, how can she be a monster? β
Hundreds of officials bowed, and the senior officials of the cabinet were sad in their hearts, and they all began to miss Chen Xun, but they couldn't go back.
Seeing the worship of hundreds of officials, Zhu Qiyu's words changed:
"If you really like small feet, go to Xifan, Mobei, Annan, and Wa to find it."
"Those people are cheap, chop off their feet, give them to you for treasure, chop 100,000 people, millions, tens of millions of people, I don't feel distressed!"
"Have your pleasure! Instead of interfering, I clapped my hands! β
"But the women of the Celestial Empire are not allowed! The women of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to bind their feet! β
"They are the women of the Celestial Empire, the daughters of me! I will not allow them to suffer! β
"Don't let the bad habit of foot binding continue! It will damage the prestige of the Celestial Empire! β
Zhu Qiyu's tone was a little slower: "The official eunuch's family, the bound ones can let go and let go quickly, the wrapped ones are done, marry low as soon as possible, don't think about climbing high branches, and if you go to your mother-in-law's house in the future, you will be angry, it is better to marry low, pick a private household to marry, and you can live the addiction of Miss Guan!" β
"I have already told you about the Jingcha standard, and you will do it yourself!"
What else do you dare to say?
The emperor is going to use the knife, who dares to test the emperor's bottom line?
You can only kowtow and ask for sin.
In fact, I disdain it in my heart, it is the upper class who is qualified to bind her feet, what kind of feet do folk women wrap?
The woman outside the fan is even more unworthy, and she looks unappetizing.
Hu Hui's eyes lit up, and he saw that before Yu Qian came back, the emperor preemptively knocked on the ministers and told them: Don't think that when Yu Qian comes back, he will have a backer!
Yu Qian is back, I am still the emperor!
Yu Qian can't afford the wind and waves, understand?
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor didn't kill two sacrificial knives, which can be regarded as a restrained temperament.
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!" Zhu Qiyu said.
"Your Majesty, the displaced people have been settled for the time being, and the ministers will present the important matters in the chapter, please read them!" Ye Sheng is out of class.
Shi Pu was a smart person and knew that the emperor valued Ye Sheng.
Therefore, giving Ye Sheng a good opportunity to get ahead can be regarded as a personal relationship with Ye Sheng.
When it was submitted, Zhu Qiyu didn't look at it, and put it on the imperial case: "I have asked the Ordnance Bureau to make a batch of farm tools and give them to the homeless people without charging money." β
Ye Sheng rolled his eyes, the silver in the hands of the homeless people has been scraped dry by you, and some still owe Dongchang Yinzi money, how can there be oil and water for you to scrape?
However, the emperor's willingness to give the homeless people farm tools can be regarded as the emperor's grace.
"Thank you for the exiles, Your Majesty Longen!" Ye Sheng bowed.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "The court owes Zhu Qing a few months, and it is also sent down, and the silver is found!" No treasure money! β
Wow!
As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the court, really give money? The emperor doesn't pick his children anymore?
"Why do you look at me with such eyes?" Zhu Qiyu asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and other families can still survive, this, this silver is still a reward for meritorious officials!" Li Xian said cautiously.
All the officials are peeking at the emperor, and the Ming Emperor is the most picky, and he is very low, and he often can't send it!
Especially today's saints, the king of kings.
It is even more difficult to pick the silver from his hands, what kind of moth are you going to do this time, and why do you send money?
"Hahaha, the meritorious ministers will be rewarded, and the princes will also be paid!"
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I won't issue treasure money in the future, and I will directly find silver." β
"I originally wanted to issue copper coins, but the copper coins in the internal carrier warehouse are piled up, which really occupies space, and there have been some purchases in the internal treasury recently, and the silver is moldy in the warehouse, so it is really unnecessary."
Your Majesty, you Versailles!
The officials are bitter in their hearts, it's all our money!
"Zhuqing, I have an idea."
Here it comes!
The emperor will never give money for no reason, just wait here!
"I'm afraid that the banknote law will not be implemented, and the government and the opposition know that there was no money in the past, and the court could only enforce the banknote law, which caused public resentment."
"Now that I have plenty of money, to put it mildly, the silver is moldy in the palace!"
Zhu Qiyu fluttered: "So, I plan to abolish the banknote law and use silver as the main currency, what do you think?" β
The treasure money has long existed in name only, and the people are unbearable, if it were not for the official compulsory implementation of the treasure banknote and included in the Daming Law, otherwise it would have become waste paper.
In recent years, the court didn't even want the last fig leaf, and the tax began to be folded into silver.
With the power of Yu Qian's victory, Zhu Qiyu still wants to do a big thing!
Reform the currency!
Earn another sum with eight million taels.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, is Your Majesty completely abolishing the banknote law? Or is it temporarily abolished? Zhang Feng frowned and asked.
"Abolish it altogether and replace it with silver!"
Zhang Feng hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, you know that the dynasty is short of silver, and now there is more silver on the market, which is the credit of the city's shippers." β
"If foreign trade is cut off and the banknote law is abandoned, Daming will immediately fall into a money shortage."
"Moreover, the folk squires and landlords have the habit of storing silver, and they hide the silver in their own pigsty, and they are not willing to take it out and spend it."
"Wechen suggested that the banknote law can be temporarily abandoned, and the banknote law can be abolished for the time being, and once there is a shortage of silver, the banknote law will be implemented."
Zhang Feng suggested that it was feasible.
Meng Jian, the right attendant of the household department, came out of class, and said after saluting: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should continue to practice the strategy of banknotes and silver, although the treasure money is inflationary, at least the court is still in circulation." β
"Once the banknote law is completely abandoned and wants to pick it up and use it again, Wechen is worried that it will cause a backlash from the people."
"It's better to use cash first, and don't abolish the banknote law for the time being, and use it like this first."
"The minister agrees with Meng Shilang's suggestion." Lu Yuan, the right attendant of the household department, also agreed.
With the Ministry of Household Throwing Bricks and Stones, many officials have expressed their opinions.
It's all pretty much the same.
Zhu Qiyu bowed slightly: "I don't plan to use silver ingots, it's inconvenient, I need to weigh them with scales when trading, and then cut them with scissors, which is a lot of loss, and ordinary people can't afford it; β
"The second is that it is inconvenient to carry, I went out with a silver ingot, put it on my body and panicked, and put it in the bag and fell into a panic."
"I'm going to suppress the silver coins, each with a fixed denomination."
"For example, one tael of silver, two taels, five taels, ten taels."
The emperor was going to mint money!
The minting of money must be mixed with water to make money and consume fire to fool the people.
"Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister's words!"
Hu Hu immediately stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, although the inner treasury is more spacious, please don't waste silver taels!" β
"First, silver is expensive, our dynasty is not rich in silver, and the silver on the market is all obtained from the Yiren trade."
"But the old minister estimates that the Yi people probably don't have much silver, the old minister has personally seen those Yi people, the country they are talking about is very small, how can there be countless silver for them to squander?"
"Zhang Shangshu is reasonable, once the trade is cut off, there will definitely be a silver shortage in our court, how will the court deal with it at that time?"
"Second, Your Majesty wants to press the silver coin, has Your Majesty calculated the fire consumption? The silver was consumed, and every two taels of silver would lose two or three coins of silver, and after being pressed into silver coins, the silver shrank, and the court lost miserably. β
"Thirdly, if Your Majesty presses out exquisite silver coins, as long as they come out, they will be snapped up by merchants in the market, and then buried in the land.
"Fourth, if Your Majesty wants to make money by pressing the coin, you have to mix things into it, and if you mix it too much, the value will naturally come down, and when the time comes, the reputation will collapse, and it will be no different from the treasure banknote."
"Your Majesty, if the above four situations occur, and the money in the court is empty in an instant, what will happen?"
Hu Hui kowtowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, this matter is definitely a matter that will harm all generations, please Your Majesty must never do this thought again!" β
What Hu Hu said made sense, but he didn't know that the money of the Yiren came from the Americas, and the silver in the Americas was inexhaustible.
Moreover, the Wa Kingdom, which is closest to the Ming Dynasty, is rich in silver mines.
Myanmar is rich in gold mines.
But Hu Hu is right in two sentences, the fire consumes too much, and the Ming people like to store silver, and the silver in the inner money is simply not enough for reserves.
"Old lady, please get up quickly, this is a flash of inspiration, so take it out and discuss it with Zhu Qing, saying that I am not guilty of right or wrong, and Zhu Qing can speak freely."
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I plan to forcibly expropriate the silver of the people, forcibly press it into silver coins, and then circulate it back to the people......"
"Your Majesty!"
Hu Hu rolled his eyes: "If the old minister goes to grab the internal money, what will you do?" will kill the old minister, if the court sends troops to rob the people's money, isn't that the official forcing the people to rebel? β
"It's not a robbery, it's a call on the people to take out the silver and exchange it for silver coins." Zhu Qiyu is very naΓ―ve.
"Your Majesty, even if the Holy Father Yan is reborn, it will not make all the people in the world give up their vigilance."
Hu Hu smiled helplessly: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, which one of the people who has brought disaster to the country and the people is this, tell you, the old minister asks Your Majesty to kill him!" β
"This policy will make the Ming Dynasty turbulent, and the Ming Dynasty will collapse in an instant!"
Zhu Qiyu's expression was embarrassed, this was what he saw in his previous life.
but ignores the human heart.
Since ancient times, the people have no trust in the government at all, only wariness, so letting them take out the money is to force them to rebel!
"Zhuqing, can't this strategy work?" Zhu Qiyu was a little unwilling.
Li Xian, Zhang Feng and others all shook their heads.
"If the Ming Dynasty is full of silver, this strategy can still be used."
"Nowadays, there is a shortage of silver money, and there is still a shortage of money in the market, how to waste fire to press what silver coins, and ...... the end of the money."
Seeing His Majesty's sincerity, Hu Hu couldn't bear to say: "Your Majesty, can you ask the craftsman to press a silver coin out and see how much silver will be lost?" You then let the phase calculate. β
"As for letting the people take out the silver, you'd better dispel this idea, Daming can't mess up!"
Hu Hu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately His Majesty did not enforce it, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Compared with pressing silver coins, it is more reliable to rectify the bad habit of tying up feet.
Let the cabinet make a statement, foot binding must be denied from the official point of view, as for the people, it is not easy to change customs.
"That's it, I'll think again."
Zhu Qiyu was interested in Shanshan, and originally wanted to use silver coins to hold the right to mint coins.
In fact, it's ridiculous to think about it, the coinage right has always been in the hands of the court, whether it is a silver ingot or a silver coin, the essence is the same.
The main reason for the opposition of the ministers is that the Ming Dynasty has little silver!
If you want him to toss, you have to have a lot of silver.
But he came up with this idea, in fact, he wanted to be a Daming Bank and hold the currency firmly in the palm of his hand.
However, the silver of this era is not currency in the strict sense.
"Spread the decree to the city, increase trade with the Yi people, and make more money!"
Zhu Qiyu announced his retirement from the court, and suddenly stopped: "By the way, those palace maids who were sent out, the family will find their daughters to send them into the palace, don't have small feet, don't want to be sideways, figure it out yourself." β
Those officials were whining and wailing, thinking that they had escaped the catastrophe, but they didn't want to dodge it.
On the way back to the palace, I have been pondering.
The treasure money must not be used, there is a lot of silver reserves, Hu Hu is right, once the silver coins are minted, they are exchanged by the merchants, and then minted and exchanged, and finally the silver inside will definitely be emptied.
The ...... of the General Reform of the Currency
Wait, a silver ticket is issued!
Be a money banker and ticket number!
He really gave up his roots and became a Daming Bank, or he could start from the ticket number, and use eight million taels as a reserve, and the bank would definitely be able to open.
At the end of the day, he wants money to make money.
The reason why the emperor is the emperor is that he is richer than everyone in the world in order to dominate the world.
When he arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, Zhu Qiyu traveled outside the world.
Hurriedly ate the meal.
He began to read the recitals.
"Emperor, Li Yanshi has arrived in the capital and is waiting outside the palace gate." Feng Xiao said in a low voice.
"Li Zhen?"
Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Li Zhen was the governor: "Xuan came in, Chen You and Mao Sheng were also called in together, and I want to talk to them." β
Mao Sheng is a Sinicized Mongolian person, and he has never been trusted by Zhu Qiyu.
Soon, the three of them entered the Qinzheng Hall and knelt on the ground to salute.
After a few months, they entered the palace and walked in, as if they had been separated for many years, the glorious and magnificent palace city of the past became dilapidated, and the traces left by the door can still make people feel shocking after seeing it, and the scene of that day seems to be vivid.
When they entered Beijing, they heard about what had happened in the past two months, and they were very embarrassed.
Fang Ying sent someone to explain to them, they must serve the emperor carefully.
The Emperor is no longer the same as ever.
Because he didn't dare to say too much, he only repeatedly told them that they must serve the emperor carefully, and they must not be as careless as before.
Listening to Li Zhen's detailed explanation of the chaos, Zhu Qiyu bowed slightly: "Li Zhen, you did a good job." β
"Don't dare to praise Your Majesty!"
Li Zhen climbed up from the bottom little by little, this kind of person is the best at observing words and feelings, he has three backers in the court, Fang Ying, Liang Xuan and Wang Lai.
The first two wrote to him to make him respectful to His Majesty.
Wang Lai bluntly told him that the change of the emperor made him serve the lord well.
Li Zhen understood that it would definitely not work to fool the emperor like before, so he had to serve carefully.
"Chen You, Mao Sheng, you two are also doing well!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.
Chen You is a Huihui person, an old man who has gone through five dynasties.
"Weichen didn't dare to praise His Majesty." Although Chen You is old, he doesn't dare to hold it up.
As a Huihui person, he has no backer in Daming, and the emperor is his only support, so he will never stand in line, no matter who is the emperor, he will be loyal.
A few years ago, the emperor was lukewarm to him, because he refused to support the emperor clearly, so he never received a knighthood.
"Chen You, do you want to go home?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.
Chen You was stunned for a moment, thinking that "home" was the home of Jingshi.
"Yu Qian fought a beautiful victory in Xuanzhen, annihilating more than 30,000 elite people in Wara, with a total of more than 100,000!"
Zhu Qiyu said with an angry expression: "I plan to reopen the Western Regions and operate the Silk Road, so I ask you, do you want to go home?" β
"This, this ......"
Chen You has no impression of his hometown, he was born and raised in Handi, but his grandfather and father mentioned his home countless times, and he also fantasized about that place.
But Daming had lost it for a long, long time, and he thought he would never be able to see his grandfather's home again.
"Although it is not Weichen's home, it is Weichen's ancestral land, how much Weichen hopes that one day, the ancestral land can return to the embrace of the Han family!"
Chen You had tears in the corners of his eyes, and kowtowed respectfully: "If Your Majesty reopens the Western Regions, the old minister is willing to act as a pioneer!" β
"That old general should pay attention to maintenance, live well, and must see that day!"
Zhu Qiyu helped him up very seriously.
Chen Youming knew that this was His Majesty's means to win people's hearts, but he still couldn't help but be excited, the general died in a hundred battles, and the horse leather shrouded body was returned, he wanted to take the army and recover his ancestral land.
A Chinese Hui like him never thinks that he looks different from others, he firmly believes that he is a Han.
"Mao Sheng, I remember that you fled to Mobei a few years ago......"
Before Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Mao Sheng knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Hahaha, why should the old general mind?"
"I don't mean to blame!"
"Who wouldn't want to go home and see?"
"I also want to go to Nanjing, although I was not born in Nanjing, I did not grow up in Nanjing, but Nanjing is the home of my great-grandfather, and my grandfather has been in Nanjing for many years."
"I want to tell you that I have the ambition of Taizong, and I want to recover the lost land in Mobei and re-manage the grassland!"
"Old general, I want to tell you, live well, wait for me, and take you home! Luckily? β
Zhu Qiyu grabbed Mao Sheng's hand.
Mao Sheng couldn't cry.
He spent his childhood on the grassland, and his ancestors were even more nobles of Dayuan, and there were many relatives there.
He also wants to go back with the army, highlighting his status in the Ming Dynasty, everyone has a heart to return to his hometown, he is old, there are not a few years to live, the biggest wish in this life, one is to have a knighthood, and the other is to return to his hometown.
"Your Majesty, the old minister must take good care of his body and wait to be the vanguard officer of the expedition to Mobei!" Mao Sheng bowed.
"Two old generals!"
Zhu Qiyu pulled one in one hand: "You have been fighting in the south and the north all these years, you are too tired, you temporarily stayed in the Beijing division to help me organize the army, I have recruited four regiments and battalions, you stay and help me." β
"First, I will nourish the body and regulate the body well."
"Second, waiting for the regimental camp to be trained, led by you, to recover the Western Regions and Mobei, I want you to return to your hometown! No more faithful life! β
To buy people's hearts, it depends on Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu let go of the two old generals and returned to the throne: "In this battle, the three generals have made great contributions to pacify the chaos in Huguang and Miao!" β
"Li Zhen, I want to make you Xingningbo; Chen You, I named you Wu Pingbo; Mao Sheng, I named you Nanning Bo! β
"This seal, for the time being, I will not give the world coupon, I want to let you return to your hometown, and then give the world coupon!"
"I hope that the world voucher I gave is a marquis' voucher! It is a marquis voucher that rests with the country! β
"I keep the world voucher and wait to give it to you!"
Feng Xiao brought up the tray, and there were world coupons on it, all of which were marquis coupons.
Zhu Qiyu pointed out: "Can you have the confidence to earn a marquis for your children and grandchildren?" β
"Yes!"
Li Zhen and the three shouted in unison.
They really didn't expect that the emperor would be so generous and directly give him the title.
However, now that the lords are in decline, it is possible that His Majesty wants to promote more lords and check and balance the civil officials.
The only pity is that there is no world pass, and it cannot be hereditary.
"Several old generals, I only have one word, live!"
Zhu Qiyu is really well-intentioned, Chen You and Mao Sheng are dying soon.
"This is the Holy Decree!"
"I don't allow you to die early, I want you to return to your hometown in fine clothes, and let the people of your ancestral land take a look at you!"
"This is your reward for your dedication to Daming!"
"It's the best reward I've given you!"
Zhu Qiyu's words were sincere.
Chen You and Mao Sheng couldn't stop crying, the most important thing in this life is a sense of identity.
Especially for foreigners, Chen You and Mao Sheng are very ostracized, Chen You never stands in line, Mao Sheng and Mobei hook up, and they are not liked by the emperor.
However, Zhu Qiyu recognized his merits, agreed with their merits and abilities, and closed the coffin.
and give them hope and let them persevere.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, the emperor has Tianxian in his mouth, which can be regarded as acknowledging their merits!
"Lingtai Hospital, regularly diagnose old courtiers, and there is an old man in the family who is like a treasure."
"How many times I have been impulsive, I have been persuaded by the old ministers of the court, and I will not allow them to die early!"
"I want to keep them alive and watch Daming be strong!"
Zhu Qiyu explained to Feng Xiao: "Let the imperial doctor be more attentive, and those who don't care will be punished!" β
"Slave obeys!"
Feng Xiao admired, the emperor's clever means of buying people's hearts.
If you have nothing to do, you will scold those old ministers in the Qinzheng Palace for being dead-brained! Old dog in the way!
Now in front of the old minister, he said that there is an old man in the family who has a treasure, look at it, how heartwarming it is.
Look at Chen You's three grateful looks.
Wait until you stay in the court for two months, you will know, no one to believe, don't believe the emperor's broken mouth.
sent away Chen You and the others.
Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood: "How to place the captives?" Zhao Hanlin came over and talked about how to settle the prisoners. β
Soon, Qiu Jun and the others came in.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that he can do labor, and repairing the palace and repairing the Jingshi requires manpower, especially the reconstruction of Xuanzhen, which requires a lot of labor."
Qiu Jun went straight to the point.
"Li Zhen's battle report said that more than 8,000 people were captured and escorted to the capital, and only 5,000 people remained, and if they were escorted to Xuanzhen again, it would be good to have 2,000 people left."
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Just stay in Jingshi, but what to do?" β
"Your Majesty, Weichen thought he could break into the craftsman's household." Liu said.
"No, these are seedlings, and they can't speak Chinese, how can they be craftsmen?" Qiu Jun was dismissive of these captives, and wanted to say directly that he had killed him, but he was afraid of angering His Majesty.
The Hanlin were gossiping.
Zhu Qiyu bowed slightly: "It's feasible to be a craftsman, it's good to have seedlings, it's better not to speak Chinese......"
Hearing the emperor muttering, everyone was stunned, is it okay if you can't speak Chinese?
"All of them will enter the military war and be craftsmen!"
"Huh?"
Qiu Jun was stunned: "Your Majesty, are they prisoners, or are they officials?" The food used by the War Bureau is all from Guanglu Temple, which is better than that of officials! Do you let these captives enjoy the treatment of the War Bureau? β
"No, to do chores, according to the captives' food, you don't have to eat, and when they become mature craftsmen, they are fed, and they enter two rounds, and they are also slaves, my slaves."
As soon as the emperor said this, everyone was more mentally balanced.
"What? Don't like the poor food in the palace? Zhu Qiyu tilted his head and asked with a smile.
"Weichen doesn't dare!" Qiu Jun was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and all Hanlin knelt down to plead guilty.
"It's okay, it's true that the food is not good, but there was a shortage of food in Beijing in the previous period, and the palace was not peaceful, and now Huguang has escorted grain into Beijing, and there is no shortage of food in Beijing."
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Why don't you let the Shangshi Bureau do something good, pick out an empty house from the Dongnuan Pavilion, and turn it into a dining hall, and you will go to that house to eat during meal time, and the money will be taken out from the inside, how about it?" β
It was a good thing to hear that the emperor had really improved their diet.
"We're waiting for you, Lord Longen!"
Hanlin thanksgiving.
As soon as they left, Feng Xiao was unhappy: "Emperor, money is not a waste like you!" Let them work in the palace, it is already the emperor's grace, how can they still eat in the palace? You can't even eat eggs, so why should you feed them? β
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him, what kind of master there is, what kind of slave and maid there is.
I'm picking, you're more picky than me!
"Let the family work and give some food, isn't Guanglu Temple also for the War Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau to eat and drink."
"The slave maid thinks that it should be abolished together, why should it be so good for those lowly people to eat? To improve their status, it is already the emperor's mercy, and they dare not obey their orders? β
Seeing that the emperor's face was not good, Feng Xiao muttered: "Emperor, you are not a family, Guanglu Temple spends thousands of taels of silver every day......
"So much?" Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Is someone embezzling?" β
"Emperor, do you count how many people in the War Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau eat?"
"There are guards on duty outside the two rounds, and the craftsmen all eat, so can't the guards give the same food?"
"All of them are pot-bellied men, but it's cheaper to eat, eat nonsense, and bring out tomorrow's meal!"
"Don't you see, they eat all silver!"
Feng Xiao said aggrievedly: "Just cut it off, you can do the math......"
"Okay, give them three months, and if they can't do what they want, they'll cut off the food." Zhu Qiyu was also distressed.
One thousand taels a day, thirty thousand taels a month, plus the speed of burning money in two rounds, the silver is spent like flowing water, and you can't make it like this if you have money.
"Slave remembers!"
Feng Xiao was satisfied: "The food ...... the military aircraft department"
"Let's offer it first, you don't have to eat too well, you will keep an eye on me when you purchase this piece, and if you dare to reach out and kill it directly, you don't have to ask me."
Zhu Qiyu has a lot of opportunities, and he really doesn't have time to care about these trivial things.
"The slave obeys."
"Feng Xiao, you are my side, as long as you don't stretch out your hand, the people below won't dare to stretch out your hand, you know?"
Zhu Qiyu knocked on him: "What you want, tell me directly, I will give it to you, you don't have to reach out to take what you shouldn't take, I give it, you spend it steadyly and comfortably." β
"I have a godson, a concubine raised outside or something, I said, there is no need to hide it, find some people to serve you, I can rest assured."
"The slave doesn't have this mind!" Cold sweat ran down Feng Xiao's forehead.
"Get up, what are you afraid of? I'm just telling you that if you're honest with me, you'll always be the person I trust the most. β
Zhu Qiyu personally helped him up: "Even if you make a mistake, it doesn't matter, anyone will make a mistake, as long as you are honest with me." β
"You are my steward, I am very satisfied, keep up the good work."
"You have to tell me anything, Feng Xiao."
Feng Xiao cautiously went out to serve, Zhu Qiyu raised his head and glanced at him coldly.
He lowered his head again and reviewed the recital.
He was waiting for Feng Xiao to take the initiative to confess, but Feng Xiao didn't say anything.
This morning, he received a secret report from Jinyi Wei, saying that Feng Xiao was raising a concubine outside the palace, which was given by the concubine Jiao Jing.
Jiao Jing is the husband of Princess Qingdu, the second daughter of Emperor Renzong, and Zhu Qiyu's aunt.
In the fifth year of orthodoxy, Princess Qingdu died, but this Jiao Jing lived a good life, there were hundreds of concubines, and it was rumored that the princess was angry with Jiao Jing's concubine.
Zhu Qiyu and Princess Qingdu have an average relationship, so it is regarded as if it never happened.
But this Jiao Jing, for no reason, colludes with internal officials, what is he going to do?
Do you think that the lord has returned to Beijing, and he is going to make waves again?
Hmph, you're thinking too much, I'm also returning to Beijing with humility!
β¦β¦
A few days passed.
Yu Qian led the army back triumphantly, and Hu Hu personally went out of the city to greet him, giving the Northern Expeditionary Army enough face.
The emperor held a banquet in the palace to entertain all the meritorious heroes.
He also let the Northern Expeditionary Army return to the camp, feasted for three days, and had enough wine and meat.
Hu Hu looked at Yu Qian, Yu Qian seemed to have aged a lot, without the temperament that he used to be out of the dust, as if he was an immortal who had fallen into the world, and there were many vicissitudes.
Maybe it's too busy and tired.
After a set of etiquette, the sky was almost dark, and everyone was exhausted.
before entering the palace for a banquet.
Standing on the steps of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qiyu looked at these familiar faces, and sighed in his heart: "I congratulate you for all of you, enter the palace!" β
He set up the banquet in the Qianqing Palace, and his dormitory showed great importance.
Light singing and dancing, staggered.
"Young Master Yu, I salute you!" The water in Zhu Qiyu's cup is all in the water.
"Don't dare to be respected by Your Majesty, Weichen respects Your Majesty." Yu Qian seemed to have lost his light, and he became very decadent.
Zhu Qiyu didn't care, Yu Qian was back, and he was the one who was under the most pressure.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was not warm, somewhat dull.
It seems that it is not a celebration banquet, but a Hongmen banquet.
"Your Majesty!"
Yu Qian put down his wine glass and kowtowed respectfully: "Weichen resigns, please allow Your Majesty!" β
"Huh? Young master tired? Then go back and rest first, and let Xuan Ying, Yu Mian, and Yu Kang go home to serve you. β
Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood, and praised Yu Mian and Yu Kang's abilities, and now they are my right-hand men.
"Your Majesty, the minister has the intention of retiring and returning to his hometown, so as to ask His Majesty's permission!" Yu Qian's voice was sluggish, and he didn't appreciate it.
Retreating?
The singing and dancing suddenly stopped, and the entire banquet hall was suffocated.
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect Yu Qian to resign directly.
Is this a slap in the face of His Majesty when he returns to Beijing?
"What did the young master say? If you are tired, go back to rest, and tomorrow morning you will go up, and the reward will come down, so go back. β
Zhu Qiyu deliberately pretended not to understand.
"Your Majesty, Weichen beggar's bones!" Yu Qian knelt respectfully, motionless, his voice was still high-pitched, but at the moment he was full of fatigue.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the entire Qianqing Palace seemed to freeze.
All the civil and military officials looked at each other, it was too exciting, and when I returned to Beijing, I slapped His Majesty in the face, it was too exciting!
Boom!
The wine glass in the emperor's hand rested heavily on the table.
Zhu Qiyu stood up slowly, and his tone was gentle: "Is the young master worried about the high merit and shaking the master?" Are you afraid that I will not be able to tolerate people? β
"I'm not Zhao Gou!"
"I can tolerate Yue Fei! Tolerate Han Shizhong! β
"I'm not afraid of high merit, I'm afraid that you won't be capable!"
"As long as you have the ability, whatever you want, I can reward you!"
"The young master is drunk, come here, help the young master down......"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were filled with anger.
What is this Yu Qian going to do?
"Your Majesty's permission!" Yu Qian's voice was unwavering.
"Yu Mian! Yu Kang! Get in here! Your dad is drunk, help your dad down! Zhu Qiyu suppressed his anger and helped Yu Qian round the field.
For this banquet, he sent Yu Qian and other sons of heroes of the Northern Expedition to the palace to serve, made sufficient preparations, and gave them enough face.
But what is Yu Qian doing?
Since taking back the imperial power, no one can force him to be like this!
Yu Qian just returned to Beijing, so he gave him a dismount!
A hard slap!
"Wechen is not drunk, the old minister wants to return to the mountains and forests, please allow your majesty to ......"
Smack!
"Enough!"
Zhu Qiyu slammed the cup on the ground: "Yu Qian, what are you going to do?" Are you caught up in injustice? β
The entire Qianqing Palace trembled.
Everyone knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
However, no one is sincere.
I want to see what will happen to the emperor when Yu Qian comes back?
Are you still the true emperor? Your Majesty!
