Hu Hu, like yesterday's Wang, was so angry that his face turned red.

But the word 'Erchen' was used on Hu Hu, but he did not wronged him at all.

He is a Jinshi hand-picked by Jianwen, so forget it, after all, other Jianwen Dynasty Jinshi also surrendered.

The problem is that the other Jianwen Dynasty Jinshi did not follow Taizong's order and went out to search for Jianwen for more than ten years.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu called Hu Hu a second minister, and from a factual point of view, there was no problem at all.

The other ministers in the West Flower Hall all quietly moved their steps and took the initiative to distance themselves from Hu Hu.

Now that the emperor has formally established his authority, even the Holy Empress Dowager has completely compromised. In addition to Hu Hu, an old minister of the Six Dynasties, how can any minister dare to wrestle with the emperor.

In a few days, the era of Orthodoxy will be completely over.

On the first day of the new year, Zhengdan Dynasty, will mark the official opening of Jingtai Zhongxing.

The ministers present also hoped to see the new dynasty and new atmosphere, and then as long as Princess Qi successfully gave birth to a concubine, the entire Jingtai Dynasty would be completely stabilized. The ministers who have no worries can devote all their energy to cleaning up the mess for the two emperors, Xuanzong and Zhengzheng.

Therefore, Hu Hu is now in a situation of unrighteousness and helplessness, and the ministers all want to let the princess and the princess leave early and be quiet.

Seeing that Hu Hu was choked and speechless, Zhu Qiyu continued to explain: "As for the question of the establishment of the Wang clan as the queen mentioned by the great uncle, I will tell you so.

I ascended the throne as emperor because the Ming Dynasty was almost over, and I had no choice but to be elected by the ministers to temporarily take the throne.

You see, it's temporary. After the Emperor Taishang returns to Beijing, I will still have to return the throne. At that time, I will retire as the king of Qi and return to Shandong to become a vassal.

This is why I have been living in the Qi Palace, but not in the Imperial Palace. I am not worthy of living in Qianqing Palace, and Wang is not worthy of living in Kunning Palace.

I temporarily took the throne, but the situation was pressing, and I had no choice but to do so. Now that the Wang family is also going to temporarily take the position of queen, I want to ask, is she also forced to do so?

Daming now has two empresses, enough to perform the duties of the empress, I don't understand why I must need Wang as the queen? What irreplaceable role does she have for Daming? ”

When the ministers heard this, they all nodded their heads again and again. Wang Wen also stood up and persuaded: "Uncle Zong, what the Holy Lord said, the words of reason. At that time, the Great Uncle also knew that the temporary replacement of the throne by the Holy Lord was the only choice to save the Ming Dynasty.

The saint ascended the throne, and the name is justified, and the truth can be explained wherever it is obtained.

But what is the need for the princess to temporarily take the position of queen? ”

As soon as Wang Wen's words fell, other ministers echoed their words.

Hu Hui can see it, but he can't explain the reason, but he can't compare with his voice. The emperor gave a reason not to appoint Wang as the empress, and he was righteous and strict, and he was above board. In addition, everyone else echoed it, without the slightest reluctance. So what else to say?

Hu Hu had no choice but to arch his hand towards the emperor: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, it was the minister who was reckless." ”

Zhu Qiyu replied coldly: "Uncle Zong, the civil fort was defeated, the Ming Dynasty almost lost the country, and the emperor was at fault. As the five ministers of Xuanzong's order, you can't escape the involvement no matter what.

I will leave you with dignity, and I will not take away your crown prince title. You go to be the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and become a scholar of Nanjing Dongge University. ”

When Hu Hu heard this, he was burned inside, and there were almost no old tears.

Bowing to the emperor, Hu Hu turned around and wanted to retreat.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care about Hu Hu's rudeness, but he still stopped Hu Hu and added: "Uncle Zong, let's leave Beijing the day after tomorrow." However, before leaving Beijing, I will hand over one last errand to you, the great uncle: to visit the king of Dongwu County in the palace for me. If he lacks anything there, he immediately asks the Ministry of Rites to report it. ”

Hu Hu was stunned, gritted his teeth and received the edict, and left the West Flower Hall in despair.

Seeing Hu Hu away, Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft couch and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Now the contradictory is completely gone, and in a few days, the orthodox dynasty will be completely history.

Zhu Qiyu rushed to complete the collection of power before Zhengdan, and when he entered the Jingtai Dynasty, it was time to focus on internal political innovation.

"This is the last court meeting in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy."

Zhu Qiyu smiled at everyone with relief.

Wang Wen was very straightforward, and knelt down without saying anything, and shouted in his mouth: "The saint is wise and martial, and the minister is willing to assist the saint to achieve the prosperity of Jingtaizhong." ”

Only then did the rest of the ministers react, and they also rushed to kneel down and shout, for fear that it would be too late to show their loyalty.

Zhu Qiyu ordered everyone to get up with a smile on his face, and then said, "I want to announce two new policies. ”

The ministers immediately replied in unison: "The ministers have heard the hadith. ”

Zhu Qiyu praised again and again in his heart: The ministers are really becoming more and more knowledgeable. In the past, I only knew how to train my favorite concubines, but I didn't expect that the ministers could also be trained. You see how good it is now, the monarch and the ministers work together, and they can work together.

So Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and said to everyone: "The Lu rice warehouse in Dongcheng will be greatly expanded. And it should be divided into silver warehouse, cao granary, white granary, and sundries warehouse.

The amount of white grain levied by the five prefectures of Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou was reduced from 200,000 stone to 150,000 stone.

These white grains were transported to the capital and divided into three parts, 30,000 stone for the inner court and 20,000 stone for Guanglu Temple. The remaining 100,000 stones were used to distribute money to the ministers of civil and military affairs, nobles, and emperors in Beijing. ”

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, he couldn't hear the reaction of the ministers. After looking closely, I saw that the ministers were all looking at themselves in a daze.

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to ask helplessly: "Do you still think that the inner court wants a bit too much?" In a few years, I will be able to reduce the use of the inner court again. ”

When the ministers heard this, they came back to their senses. The main thing is that it is the first time everyone has seen such an emperor, how can he cut the big sword of reform on himself all day long.

The grain and rice transported to Beijing are divided into cao grain and white grain. White grain is a high-quality rice produced in Suzhou, Songjiang and other five prefectures. The imperial court pressed for half a day, and at most 200,000 stones could be squeezed out of the five mansions every year.

At least 150,000 stone of these white grains should be given priority to the inner court.

Now the emperor changed it as soon as he came up, and reduced the levy quota of 50,000 stone to reduce the burden on Suzhou and other five prefectures. The remaining 150,000 stones, most of them were taken out and distributed among the civil and military officials.

The most important thing is that the emperor himself didn't ask for a single stone of grain.

Now the ministers have long known that the 50,000 stone white grain distributed by the inner court and Guanglu Temple will not reach the emperor at all, and the emperor will never eat the things of the inner court.

Chen Xun, as the head of the household, stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, this is very inappropriate, how can you be a courtier who eats good white grain, but the monarch's father doesn't take a stone?"

What kind of system is this, aren't we becoming rebellious ministers and thieves without a king? ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled and waved his hand: "I gave you, you just take it." As for me and my concubines, you can just eat the Jingxi rice you grow yourself.

Aiqing rest assured, I will not wronged myself. ”

When the ministers heard this, they dared to accept it with peace of mind. There are also patches of rice paddies in Beijing's Xishan, which are irrigated with clear springs flowing from Yuquan Mountain, producing high-quality rice that has a long reputation.

The well-informed ministers had also heard that the entire Yuquan Mountain and the surrounding fertile fields had been replaced under the name of the Qi Palace. Now the Yingzhou guard has been stationed around the perimeter to inspect, and the emperor will move there for a long time after the New Year.

It doesn't matter, just stay. The emperor cared so much for his ministers that he gave most of the white grain that was given priority to the royal family.

Such a good emperor, doesn't he just want to live comfortably, such a small wish, the ministers can't bear to stand up and raise the bar again.

Besides, the emperor lives far away, and the ministers can usually be much less restrained, and the psychological pressure will be much less.

You must know that when the Emperor Taishang was in power, he was quite iron-faced and ruthless, and he threw the minister into prison at every turn, and many people still have psychological shadows.
