After 'escaping' out of Beijing and 'occupying the mountain as king' in the western suburbs of the royal garden area, Zhu Qiyu made detailed plans for the next eight years.

Why eight years?

Because according to the plan, when Jingtai was four or five years old, he 'forced' the emperor to rebel. In the sixth to eighth years of Jingtai, Sun and Zhu Qizhen died of illness one after another.

Marked by the deaths of Sun and Zhu Qizhen, the first eight years were the early period of the Jingtai Dynasty, with the purge of the imperial faction and the initial reform as the main line.

In the next eight years, in the middle of the Jingtai Dynasty, the southern expedition and the northern war, the establishment of cultural and martial arts as the main line, and at the same time guided Zhu Jianshen to take the initiative to abdicate, so that the emperor faction completely withdrew from the historical stage and completed the transfer of the emperor's lineage.

The last eight years were the late Jingtai Dynasty, which focused on in-depth reforms, and completed the training of the new prince and the construction of the East Palace team.

Jingtai Dynasty three stages before, during and after, twenty-four years. Zhu Qiyu had already thought about it, and he would abdicate when the time came, when he was forty-six years old, he could still enjoy himself freely for many years.

This emperor can't go on endlessly, he doesn't say anything all day long, he has to get up early and be greedy for darkness, be a cow and a horse, and then be chased and scolded by the officials.

Whoever loves to be this broken emperor. Emperor Xiaowen succeeded to the throne at the age of twenty-four, and after twenty-three years as emperor, I was almost like him.

As for his future temple number, that is also a problem. Taizong is definitely out of play, and Daizong is absolutely unacceptable. Sejong's words, there is Yoo Che in front, don't.

Zhongzong is very good, but unfortunately Han Zhongzong is the emperor of filial piety, and I don't want to have anything to do with the word 'Xuan'.

Thinking about it, Xianzong is undoubtedly a good temple number, and in all dynasties, there has not been a garbage emperor to come to Huohuo's temple number.

Emperor Liu Zhuang of Han Xianzong, the fourth son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. His mother Yin Lihua is Liu Xiu's wife. As a result, after Liu Xiu became emperor, Guo Shengtong became the queen instead.

It wasn't until more than ten years later that Liu Xiu abolished Guo Shengtong and renamed Yin Lihua as the queen.

Liu Zhuang, the son of Yin Lihua, was renamed as the crown prince as a vassal king, and finally ascended the throne, reigned for twenty-four years, and became Emperor Xiaoming of Han Xianzong.

As the founder of the rule of the Ming Dynasty of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty strictly guarded against his relatives and attacked the clan; restricting the powerful and clarifying the bureaucratic system; harnessing the Yellow River and building water conservancy; Attack the Xiongnu in the north and expand the southwest.

In addition to Liu Zhuang's respect for Buddha and Confucianism, Zhu Qiyu felt that he had a lot of similarities with this Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Zhuang was also the actual Taizong of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

So let's leave it at that, Zhu Qiyu's goal for himself is to become an obvious sect.

Several Zhongshu people saw that the emperor was there, and they were smirking, and they were a little confused. The ministers are all connected in series, and they want to force the emperor to make an edict against himself, and the emperor still has the heart to be stupid there.

Huang Pu asked softly on the side: "Your Majesty, how long will the minister patrol Zhili?" ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he came back to his senses and smiled at Huang Pu: "You just patrol slowly, for three years, until the Emperor Taishang comes back."

You have two tasks, one is to patrol Gyeonggi for me, and the other is to assist me in reorganizing the army in Beijing.

Anyway, let's just do these things, don't worry, let's do it slowly.

I'm going to tell you about my basic plan for building a plate. “

When everyone heard this, they all came to their senses, and they expressed their ears in unison.

Zhu Qiyu cleared his throat and explained to everyone: "From a regional point of view, the old eight mansions in North Zhili, plus the Xuanfu and Huailai newly classified from Shanxi to Zhili; The whole Shandong, as well as the line from Daning to Guangning, this is the basic plate I want to build.

I want to keep this area firmly in my hands, so that I can sit on the throne in peace.

There are three specific measures: First, to show kindness to the people of Gyeonggi, tax exemption when tax should be exempted, exemption from forced labor when tax should be exempted, and payment of money when it should be paid. If the people feel the emperor's grace and truly support me.

Second, reorganize the army and transfer all the troops and guards who do not have a good opinion of me. Establish an army of about 200,000 people and garrison it in key areas of Gyeonggi.

Third, redundant personnel should be abolished, institutions should be streamlined, and the administration of officials should be clarified and unjust prisons should be cleared. Dredging canals and harnessing the Yellow River. Suppress the population growth of Gyeonggi and reduce the burden of transportation.

For example, there are twenty-six guards in Beijing, except for the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison and the Jinyi Guard, the remaining twenty-one are mixed with the Beijing camp, which is not clear. As a result, management is chaotic and the problem of empty salaries is serious.

There are also Jinyi Guards, who have made more than 100,000 people, and they can't fight wars, and they can't defend the emperor, so what do you want so many people to do.

There are also mausoleum guards, there is an imperial mausoleum to set up a mausoleum guard, 5,000 people to guard an imperial mausoleum, it is really overkill.

All of these guards were to be abolished and streamlined, and then merged into the Shangzhi Qinwei and Jingying in Nanjing. ”

Everyone present was a little stunned when they heard it, the emperor was too ruthless.

Zhu Qiyu added: "The four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison are combined into one guard, plus the three guards of Duoyan, Tiance Guard, and Yingzhou Guard, a total of six guards.

It is said that the Son of Heaven's pro-army is called the Sixth Division, so it is reasonable for me to set up six pro-guards in the Gyeonggi area, which is the basic plate.

Together with the Xiaocai Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the 3,000 battalions that will be rebuilt in the future, there are a total of nine combat units. Supplemented by a certain number of garrisons, grain transport troops, and reserve soldiers, this is the military arrangement in the Gyeonggi region. ”

When everyone heard this, they had nothing to say. Xu Zheng, Huang Jian, and Yue Zheng only became Zhongshusheren after they hit Wara hard, and their relationship with the emperor was still relatively shallow, and they didn't dare to talk much.

He Yi, Huang Pu, and Lian Gang are the Wenchen team who started with Zhu Qiyu, and they can be regarded as sharing hardships, and they are much closer to the emperor.

After Zhu Qiyu finished talking about his plan, He Yi asked, "Who does Your Majesty plan to send to patrol Shandong?" ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Anyway, don't think about it, I'm impatient to read the book, you have to stay by my side to take charge of government affairs, give me advice and solve problems."

This way I can use my brain less and sleep more. Then when the weather gets warmer, I'll have to farm the land myself.

As for patrolling Shandong, let Xu Youzhen go, it just so happened that he was going to Shandong to deal with the floods. ”

He Yi nodded and continued: "Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao selected more than a hundred young sinners from his family to cast the captured Southeast People's Rebellion Party, castrated them, and then sent them to the capital to be dedicated to His Majesty. What do you think you should do with these people? ”

"Oh, is it dedicated to the royal family, or to the queen mother, or is it dedicated to me, the emperor?"

He Yi said with a smile: "The Marquis of Ningyang will definitely not dare to name him, but he did make it clear that he is dedicated to His Majesty." ”

"The common people can't get by before they make a civil change, so what's the matter with cutting people well. Isn't castration of prisoners of war all a means of dealing with aliens? ”

He Yi spread his hands helplessly.

Zhu Qiyu was just about to order these little eunuchs to be sent to the vassal kings, but he suddenly blessed his heart and had a novel idea. So he replied:

"Okay, I'll give Ningyang Hou a face, go back and let these little eunuchs come over, and I'll pick a few to use." You reply to the Marquis of Ningyang, don't make an example, and ask him to stop castrating prisoners of war. ”
