222 A piece of public desire to promote the New Deal, the emperor returned the money

Zhu Qiyu can understand the mood of the concubines very well, and can understand the attraction of Yuquan Mountain to the concubines.

According to records, there are more than 1,200 wells in the inner and outer cities of Beijing, most of which are bitter wells, and the water is quite unpalatable.

The famous sweet water well in the city is the large well near the Mankaden Hall. In addition, there is the sweet water well near the Ten Princes' Mansion, which is the famous Wangfu Well in later generations.

But even the water from Dakujing and Wangfujing was not eaten by the royal family, but was transported from Yuquan Mountain all the way.

The problem is that the water transported from Yuquan Mountain is okay for the pet concubines to drink, but if the water used by the fifteen pet concubines for washing and bathing is also all from Yuquan Mountain, it really can't be supplied.

However, the favorite concubines love to be clean, they have to bathe every day, and there are no maids and eunuchs at home, so they have to boil water by themselves every time and wash it with dirty water from those bitter wells.

Therefore, the favorite concubines are the staunchest supporters of Zhu Qiyu's escape plan, and they are all in a hurry to go to Yuquan Mountain to soak in hot springs.

At that time, not only do you not have to boil water to be tired, but the hot springs of Yuquan Mountain are famous all over the world, and soaking in them every day is good for beauty and beauty. Which favorite concubine would refuse to keep her face and be favored for a long time.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu kept the Qianqing Palace, and waited for Zhu Qizhen to come back so that he could continue to live with him. It is necessary to make Zhu Qizhen the only emperor in history who still lives in the main palace after abdication, so as to declare his filial piety and friendship to the world.

The shabby place in Qianqing Palace, since Zhu Qizhen likes it so much, he can live if he loves it.

These people don't know now, but Zhu Qiyu himself knows very well that the last three halls composed of Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, and Kunning Palace can also be burned to the ground by 'thunder and fire from the sky'.

This has to say poor Emperor Wanli. In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli, Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace were burned down; In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, the three major halls, Wenzhao Pavilion, Wucheng Pavilion, and the surrounding corridors were burned by the 'thunder and fire from the sky'.

Within two years of co-authoring, the most important area in the middle of the Forbidden City was burned to the ground.

This is the terrible 'thunder and fire from heaven', the terrible 'providence'.

I don't know if such a terrible providence will come to the only emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

……

went crazy with the favorite concubines all night, and early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu came to the West Flower Hall in high spirits.

At this time, the armies of the Xiaocai Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, the Yingzhou Guard, and the Tiance Guard had been divided into two routes.

This reflects the difference in strategic thinking, and the tactical level is indeed very superb, but he is only bent on calculating the chasing soldiers of the Ming army, thinking that these chasing soldiers are the main force of the Ming army.

And Zhu Qiyu's side has already sent two main forces to copy Yexian's hometown. As for the chasing soldiers led by Shi Heng, in Zhu Qiyu's heart, it was just a feint.

Therefore, Jin Ying and Xing'an were sent to supervise the army, and Yang Shan was sent to counsel military affairs. Zhu Qiyu expected that this journey would be doomed to be fruitless, and sent these nasty people over just to let them see the sinister world of the world.

Chen Xun, Wang Wen and other important ministers had already come to the West Flower Hall early to participate in the small court meeting.

Now that the monarchs and ministers get along very harmoniously, Zhu Qiyu's prestige has soared, and his image in the hearts of the subjects of Beijing has long been different from when he first ascended the throne; Second, the important ministers who are now eligible to participate in the small court meeting are either the emperor's cronies or the emperor's exceptional promotion, and everyone works wholeheartedly and is not interested in raising the bar with the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu's attitude towards everyone has also become more friendly than before. Before talking about business, you must first give tea and fruit snacks, and cheer and joke with the ministers.

The emperor not only does not harm everyone's interests, but also can continue to bring benefits to everyone, and the important ministers are naturally happy to flatter the emperor and jointly maintain the beautiful scene of the monarch and the minister.

After chatting, Zhu Qiyu asked Chen Xun: "Elder Chen Ge, at the end of the year, everyone has suffered for so long and suffered so many crimes, I have to give some rewards to the civil and military officials."

Now that the household department has enough money, can it be paid to the civil and military officials on time? ”

Chen Xun replied: "Squeeze it, barely enough." ”

Zhu Qiyu was not happy when he heard this: "What is a squeeze, barely enough, I still want to give all the officials in Beijing an extra year of Yulu, as a reward for our monarchs and ministers to work together to defend Beijing." ”

Chen Xun shook his head again and again when he heard this: "One more year of money? That's not enough. Unless the silver is borrowed from the Ministry of Industry and Taifu Temple. ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand again and again when he heard this: "Come on, how can you be so undignified." I will allocate 1,000,000 taels from the internal treasury to your household department, and all the officials in Beijing, as well as all the civil ministers, military generals, and guards transferred from the localities, will all be paid a year's salary or military salary. ”

When Chen Xun heard this, he couldn't believe it for a while. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has always been the emperor who reached out to the court to ask for money.

Occasionally, there were times when the imperial court took money from the internal treasury, but it was all from the emperor who begged the grandfather to tell the grandmother to cry poverty.

Like the emperor in front of him, he took the initiative to allocate money from the interior to the household, and it was one million taels at a time, which was really the first time in the world.

Everyone was just about to thank them, but Zhu Qiyu continued: "Now the income of gold and silver seems to be all in the internal money, right?" ”

Chen Xun replied with a puzzled face: "Yes, the gold and silver items began in the early years of orthodoxy, and there were more than one million taels per year, all of which were received by the internal carrier. ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "In the future, this item will no longer enter the internal transportation warehouse, and it will be transferred directly to the household department." ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, everyone present was stunned. It's really the sun coming out in the west, and everyone has lived for decades, and it's the first time I've seen an emperor who will take the initiative to push money out of the interior and stuff it into the hands of the imperial court.

And this is a huge income of one million taels a year, and the emperor said that if he didn't want it, he wouldn't want it.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and expressed his understanding in his heart: If it weren't for his current prestige and stable throne, the ministers would almost have to take revenge on the society for themselves.

Seeing that the ministers really couldn't turn the corner, Zhu Qiyu smiled helplessly and said, "What's the matter, I give you money, don't you still want it?" ”

Wang Wen reacted the fastest, reaching out and pulling Chen Xun's sleeve. Chen Xun also reacted, regardless of what the emperor thought, he hurriedly received the order to thank him first, and then cooked the raw rice into rice.

So Chen Xun hurriedly led everyone to kneel down and called out to the Son of Heaven Shengming.

Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction, and instructed everyone: "I will transfer this money to the household department, which is the capital used by our monarchs and ministers to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, not for you to squander."

Every single stroke of this money must be used on the blade, and if I find out who is corrupt and perverts the law, it is not to be said that it is unpredictable.

Again, I also want you to know that I am completely public about military affairs, and I don't mean to enjoy it luxuriously. ”

What else can the ministers say, they can only continue to chant the Son of Heaven.
