Fengtian Hall is majestic and magnificent. Last night, the fire broke out, and the whole city was watching.

Even if the weather is dry and conducive to burning, this hall will have to burn for a day or two nights.

What's more, as soon as the cold wind blew, the fire spread to the Huagai Hall and the Jinshen Palace.

Zhu Qiyu got up early in the morning, stood in his yard, looked at the direction of the three major halls, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: It's really a grand event. The three major halls in history were reduced to ashes three times.

Yongle Emperor once, Daojun Emperor once, and Liubu Tianzi once.

And every time there is a fire, the three major halls are burned down together.

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that I had just decided not to go to the court again, so I immediately stood in the same team with the other two great tomorrows who had not been in the court for decades.

Now that the three major halls are gone, there is no need to go to court at all.

Zhu Qiyu will not be like Taizong, others hit him on the left cheek, and he also handed over the right cheek with a smile.

Fengtian Palace, Huagai Palace, and Jinshen Hall were all burned down, and Taizong not only did not hold him accountable, but immediately ran to Fengtianmen and then went to court.

Emperor Daming's temper was so good that Zhu Qiyu felt that he was really incompatible with them.

There is kindness to repay kindness, and there is revenge and revenge, this is Zhu Qiyu's character.

How to repay virtue with virtue?

Repay grievances with straightforwardness and repay virtue with virtue.

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the vassal kings and nobles were called up early in the morning. The emperor's personal guards came door to door to invite, and their attitude was very resolute.

Shi Jing poisoned Princess Shunde, the concubine of Empress Zhen, and everyone had to watch him being stabbed by Ling Chi.

You say you're not going? Yes, on the basis of resistance, the house was immediately raided and imprisoned, and the young woman in the family was sent to the Department of Education on the spot.

As a result, the capital was very lively early in the morning.

Shi Jing's whole family, escorted by the guards, was escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market.

The ministers of civil and military affairs and the lords of the feudal lords also rushed to watch the execution.

The road through which the prisoner cart passed was crowded with people on both sides. Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown at Shi Jing like no money.

Originally, the people of the world were very sympathetic to Queen Hu, and you poisoned the eldest daughter of the family.

The key is that others want to poison the princess to death, and they can also say that there is a grudge and a grudge. It's really chilling that the princess's husband is so ruthless and shameless for the sake of wealth and wealth.

This sentence lasted for three days, but fortunately, Zhu Qiyu only forced the minister to watch for one day, and he could go or not go in the next two days.

In the morning, Zhu Qiyu took Lin Xiangyu back to her parents' house, and when she came back in the afternoon, Liu Jing, Menda, Lu Gao, Lu Zhong and others from Jinyiwei, and the eleven eunuchs of the inner court were already waiting in the east duty room.

Zhu Qiyu leaned comfortably on the soft couch in the West Flower Hall before ordering someone to pass them in.

As soon as everyone entered the West Flower Hall, they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.

In the sixth year of orthodoxy, the three major halls that were burned down in the Yongle Dynasty were rebuilt. Less than ten years later, it burned down again.

Zhu Qiyu teased angrily: "Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei, what is the use of raising your hundreds of thousands of wastes?" ”

Liu Jing and Menda had no choice but to bow to the ground and say: "The ministers have failed to live up to the grace of the gods, and the blame cannot be escaped, and they are willing to receive punishment." ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Okay, give you decency, go back and cut yourself." ”

When Liu Jing, Menda, Lu Gao, and Lu Zhong heard this, they were so frightened that cold sweat came out. Everyone knows that today's emperor is vigorous and resolute, but he is not the kind of emperor who likes to play around.

In the Orthodox Dynasty, when Zhu Qizhen was still in power, he often threw people into prison and released them after a while.

When it comes to the Jingtai Dynasty, it is completely different, the emperor either doesn't do it, or he comes to the real thing as soon as he makes a move, basically not like the emperor, just screaming and not biting.

Zhu Qiyu saw that everyone was not moving, and asked curiously: "What are you doing in a daze, and you are willing to go back to self-judgment until I set a pension for you first?"

Tens of thousands of you can't even look at the three major halls, and you still want to be compensated, you are really embarrassed. ”

When Menda heard this, he just wanted to defend himself, but Lu Gao hurriedly and quietly stopped him.

Menda instinctively wanted to pull other people into the water, such as Guo Chang, Marquis of Wuding, Guo Cong, Marquis of Wenxin, and Juan of Pingen. These relatives and in-laws of the emperor are all in charge of Jinyiwei, and everyone should work together to judge themselves.

Lu Gao was afraid that Menda would not have the eyesight to bite indiscriminately, so he hurriedly and quietly stopped it.

As Lu Gao expected, just when the situation was deadlocked, Shu Liang, who was the commander of the East Factory, took the initiative to claim the responsibility and interceded for the Jinyi Guard.

Zhu Qiyu scolded a few more words, and then did not continue to entangle, but only remembered the capital crime of Jinyiwei and everyone once, and if there was a recidivism, the punishment for several crimes would be combined. Then the matter was gently revealed.

Later, several people were reassigned: Menda and Lu Gao were in charge of the Beizhen Fusi Prison in the future. Liu Jing was responsible for guarding the yamen of the various official offices between the Wumen Gate and the Zhengyang Gate, as well as the Nangong.

Lu Zhong was promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, responsible for guarding the three major halls, the Wuying Palace, the Wenhua Palace, and the cabinet. That is, except for the harem part of the Forbidden City, the rest was assigned to Lu Zhong's guards.

After dealing with the Jinyi Guard, the next step is to deal with the people of the Inner Court.

Zhu Qiyu directly ordered: "Those who were on duty in the Heavenly Hall last night, as well as the so-called fireworks to celebrate, whether they were palace maids or eunuchs, were all killed. Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, and Hao Yi are responsible for implementation.

In addition, the inner court selected 3,000 eunuchs from the various prison bureaus and sent them to the vassal kings and nobles in Beijing, so that they could take them home and summon them. ”

Wang Cheng and the others were directly stunned, and it was normal to kill some of the palace people involved with the cane. But if three thousand eunuchs are eliminated at once, the emperor is afraid that he is not crazy.

So Wang Cheng boldly asked: "Dare to ask the emperor, who are you going to lay?" ”

Zhu Qiyu replied: "Like the leopard house, the tiger house, the elephant house, the sheep house, the pigeon house, the livestock house, and the silkworm pond, all of them have been abolished. In addition, there are also marble rooms, treasure money bureaus, Shangshan external supervisors, Bingbi straight rooms, Fanjing factories, pole houses, and Beihua houses, all of which have also been abolished.

The Shangshan Superintendent, the Shangyi Superintendent, the Scarf and Hat Bureau, and other places should also reduce their manpower.

Those vassal kings and nobles all wished that they would have more eunuchs at home, so while they were all in the capital, they gave them these eunuchs and let them take them back to use.

They don't have to secretly castrate innocent boys in private.

There are also those rare birds and beasts raised in the imperial city, all of which are given to the vassal kings, so let them take them home and raise them.

And they're all rich, much richer than me. I don't have the money to support so many idlers. ”

Although Wang Cheng and the others were surprised, after all, the people in the Inner Court Palace were all slaves of the Son of Heaven, and the emperor could do whatever he wanted, and no one could say anything.

If you come out to dissuade you, it will really become that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry.

The logic of Zhu Qiyu's behavior is also very simple: the palace maids and eunuchs in the inner court, who are about 15,000, are all serving the orthodox emperor.

No one is responsible for serving me, and they have no loyalty to me, and they do things all day long, what am I spending so much money on to support you.

Besides, now that the orthodox dynasty has completely become history, it is really a bit too generous to get more than 10,000 people to serve the emperor's family.

If you can reduce the burden on the people, let's reduce it a little.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu added: "The Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the imperial city are all closed. In the outer city, a few streets were specially set aside to build an entertainment hall for the elderly eunuchs and palace maids to live and retire.

The Huanyi Bureau is completely opened, and the elderly palace maids who are still with their families can go home; If the family is not there, they can live in the Comfort Hall.

There is no need to trap people in the Huanyi Bureau for the sake of the so-called prevention of leaking the secrets of the imperial city. ”
