Rights are obtained through brutal struggle.

It's not good to be too kind, and it's even worse to be too emotional.

It's like Zhu Qizhen is under the city of Beijing, and he has openly called out to the emperor's faction, signaling that he wants to compromise with the new monarch and avoid the edge for the time being.

But Empress Dowager Sun still chose to lead the emperor faction to make a rather tough attempt. It wasn't until two consecutive encounters that they were completely defeated by Zhu Qiyu that the emperor faction was willing to face up to reality and surrender temporarily.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu smiled at Lin Xiangyu and said, "Don't go to bed first, make a will for me, and let Wang Cheng be in charge of Shangbaojian at the same time."

The original Shang Bao supervisor was in charge of the seal eunuch Ruan Rang, and he was in charge of the Shangyi Prison and the Scarf and Hat Bureau. ”

At this point, Wang Cheng is the master of ceremonies, the official supervisor, Shang Bao, and temporarily for Jin Ying to take charge of the seal of the ceremonial supervisor, and has faintly become the first eunuch in the inner court.

Shu Liang is the master of ceremonies, the commander of the East Factory, can be ranked second.

Zhang Yong is the master of ceremonies, the commander of the inner factory, and can be ranked third.

Wang Jin and Wang Qin ranked fourth and fifth, and their power was evenly matched.

After dealing with the affairs of the inner court, Zhu Qiyu changed the topic: "Concubines, do you know what your birthday is?" ”

Ning Xiang replied on the side: "I don't know, we have been orphans since we were children, who still remembers our birthday." ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile when he heard this: "The fifteenth day of February in our north is the Flower Dynasty Festival, also known as the Flower God Festival, which is the birthday of the God of Flowers. In my opinion, how about you all set your birthdays on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival? ”

When the concubines heard this, they all nodded and said good.

Zhu Qiyu continued to ask: "So on the fifteenth day of February, do you want me to come one by one on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival, and everyone will enjoy a few days of favor?" ”

When Ning Xiang heard this, she replied with a red face: "That's not the case, husband." Our sister has already discussed it, you can give it to your sister first. Then my sister will be favored by you for three or four months, until she is pregnant, and you will give it to us. ”

"Your sisters are so humble?"

"Well, we can have a happy life today, all because my sister fought for us. My sister is naturally entitled to special care, and we all hope that my sister can give birth to her eldest son, so that everyone will be more stable in the future. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, then there are still more than twenty days, are you ready?" ”

Lin Xiangyu also replied with a red face: "The slave family is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and has long been looking forward to being picked by your husband. ”

"Hey, I feel sorry for you, you still dare to bury me, how can I teach you a lesson when I see it."

……

At noon the next day, on the twentieth day of the first month.

The ministers came to the western suburbs again for a court meeting.

Zhu Qiyu also has the advantage of moving to the western suburbs, he can sleep lazily. The ministers set out from the capital early in the morning and arrived in the western suburbs at noon.

In this way, Zhu Qiyu can calmly eat breakfast, finish the morning class with the favorite concubines, soak in the hot spring and relax for a while, and then dress up and go to the West Pavilion to see things.

At this time, the ministers also happened to have just arrived.

Zhu Qiyu went up to the third floor, crooked on the soft couch, chatted again, and the ministers began to do things.

First of all, the vassal kings wrote again and asked to leave Beijing.

This time, Zhu Qiyu was approved.

Through the vassal king to give the Empress Dowager Sun a platform, and instigate the emperor faction to jump out against the emperor, after two rounds, Zhu Qiyu has already got what he wants.

Now that the vassal king stays in Jingshi, there is no positive effect. So Zhu Qiyu named the king of Min and the king of Dongwu on his side to stay, and the remaining vassal kings could take the eunuchs, palace maids, jackals, tigers and leopards given by the emperor and go home happily.

The loss of thousands of eunuchs and palace maids made Zhu Qiyu very happy.

At this time, Wang Wen added: "Your Majesty, in addition to the eunuchs on the register, there are many people who have self-castrated and gathered around the imperial city, and usually make a living by taking on some rough errands in the palace.

All the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have issued many decrees to prohibit self-castration, but they have repeatedly banned it.

Now that the Holy God has vigorously eliminated redundant personnel, what do you think should be done with this part of the self-eunuchs? ”

Zhu Qiyu understood what Wang Wen meant, so he nodded: "It's better to be sparse, let's release the ban in the future, whether it is a prince or a county king, you can recruit people who are eunuchs as slaves." ”

When Chen Xun heard this, he was quite surprised, so he wanted to question it.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I know what you want to say, you must restrict it, otherwise those ruthless parents will inevitably castrate their sons and exchange them for money."

I know that there are many such cases now, where some people deliberately castrate their own sons, and then find a way to send them to the palace, hoping to fight for glory and wealth. ”

When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised. This emperor is smoking, and it is extremely difficult to fool, but he is not at all like a vassal king who was raised like a pig.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "First, even if a person is willing to castrate, he must go to the institution designated by the imperial court to be castrated. Second, this castration institution can only be located in the city of Beijing, and no castration is allowed anywhere except Beijing.

Third, a man must be fifteen years old before he can choose to be emasculated. Castration must be carried out only if the man is fully voluntary.

Fourth, if there are parents who force their children to castrate, behead.

Fifth, the Inner Court Supervision Bureau will never accept self-emasculated people. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads in good faith. In this way, the number of self-eunuchs who are cut off from entering the palace may be greatly reduced.

The key is to see if the emperor can really completely reduce the size of the inner court.

After solving this matter, Zhu Qiyu asked Chen Xun again: "How are the warehouses of the household department?" ”

Chen Xun saw that the emperor was becoming more and more difficult to coax, so he replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, according to your orders, the ministers first filled the confiscated property from Shanxi into the Xinlu rice warehouse in Dongcheng.

At this time, the savings in the Lu rice warehouse were enough for the hundred officials to spend two years, plus the gold and silver allocated by the saint to the household department, and one million taels of money and silver continued to enter the Lu rice warehouse every year, and there was no need to worry about the distribution of the hundred officials' money for at least seven or eight years.

In addition, the new Taicang in Nanju Xianfang has also been built, and the silver reserves have reached 2 million taels, which are specially used for disaster relief, river control, and water conservancy.

There are still 3 million stone grains in the old Taicang, which were transported from Tongzhou and other places during the defense of the capital. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and then ordered: "First move Wang Gongchang, the Gunpowder Bureau, and the War Bureau to the southeast corner of Beijing's new outer city;

The Salary Division, the Hongluo Factory, the Chariot Factory, the Taiji Factory, the Silver Bureau, and the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry were moved to the southwest corner of the new outer city of Beijing.

Then he began to cast Jingtai Tongbao with all his strength and put it on a large scale in the capital.

I'm going to try copper coins instead of treasure money in the capital first, and how effective it is. ”

For Zhu Qiyu, Wang Gongchang and the Gunpowder Bureau were the first to move, and they were moved to the southernmost corner of the outer city. Otherwise, God knows if these emperors will be blessed to their hearts and come up with the ghost ideas of those gods at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Gongchang's big bang, it was a romantic epic masterpiece that was more mysterious than fantasy.

Zhu Qiyu, as a cautious emperor, didn't want to pin his hope of survival on the stupidity of his opponent. What if the opponent is smart, that is, he knows that the powder magazine will explode? So it's better to take precautions.

Otherwise, if your cronies are wiped out in a pot and all blown up to the sky, then the fun will be great.
