Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly: "How can I deal with these things in the harem." It's just that our little princess is still pregnant, and now she can't do anything. ”

He Yi smiled: "Don't we still have two princesses?" ”

"That's not good, those two little princesses are still young, I don't want them to get involved in these dirty things.

That's it, all those nobles will be promoted to concubines, and they will live in the east and west palaces with the old concubines of the emperor.

Then clean up the South Palace, and wait for the Emperor Taishang to return to Beijing, let the Emperor Taishang and Queen Qian live in the South Palace together, Queen Zhou takes the prince to live in Kunning Palace, and the remaining concubines live in the East and West Palaces.

The Emperor Taishang wants which concubine to sleep, and then he can be recruited at any time. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu added: "Even if Wang Ji sincerely welcomes the Emperor Taishang, at least it will take the New Year to finish the battle, and the Emperor Taishang will return to the capital, so it will be March next year."

When the time comes, the palace test is over, and the princess is finished, we can concentrate on accompanying the emperor to fight wits and courage.

As the saying goes, one drum is vigorous, then drummed and declined, and three drums are exhausted.

The first year of Emperor Taishang's return to Beijing was the most powerful year for the Emperor's faction, and it was also the most difficult year for us.

As long as it is resisted, the momentum of the Emperor faction behind will weaken year by year. ”

He Yi asked curiously: "Now it seems that even if the Emperor Taishang returns to Beijing, the Emperor faction will not have any excuse to attack His Majesty, right?" ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "Next year, I'm going to start cutting the domain, and I have to move the salt tax." ”

After saying this, Zhu Qiyu couldn't stop sighing.

It's really too difficult, this emperor is really not good, it's not as comfortable as the prince.

"Cutting the domain?"

"Well, the clan system formulated by Taizu is too unreasonable, or too selfish, just thinking about how the old Zhu family enjoys it, but not caring about the life or death of the people.

At the beginning, it was okay, but as the number of clans increased, the wealth in the hands of the major vassal kings became more and more exaggerated, and the Ming Dynasty had to go to the point of no return sooner or later.

At that time, the money for raising troops will not be available, and a small tribe with only 100,000 troops will be able to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

Don't look at the fact that now Da Ming can suppress these alien races around him and fight casually, and in the last years of the dynasty, everything will be returned. ”

These words were a little too advanced, and He Yi scratched his head when he heard it.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said with a smile as he walked out: "I'm so sleepy, I'm going home to collect the food, you can keep an eye here." ”

Out of the West Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu walked home along the stone steps paved with white marble, while thinking wildly and sighing: No wonder the further back, the more powerful the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty becomes.

With such a large territory and such a large population, it is really impossible for the emperor to work alone.

That is, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Taizong Zhu Di can stand such a method.

The rest of the emperors can't help but throw these trivialities to the cabinet.

The elites of the cabinet are really easy to use.

Since completely replacing the cabinet with his own people, Zhu Qiyu has only been worried about one or two percent of the original.

As for whether it will turn against the cabinet in the future? Zhu Qiyu himself is not sure.

According to Jiajing's experience, it seems that it will not.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, Zhu Qiyu himself has already made up his mind: between centralization and longevity, I would rather choose longevity.

What power is not power, people are dead, and no matter how much power is used.

Money is not brought in life, and it is not brought away in death. Power is the same as not brought by life, and not brought by death.

Like Renzong, when the emperor is less than a year, and then it only takes two days to go to see Taizu Taizong, what is the use of power? Can power buy back Renzong's life?

and Xuanzong is the same, known as the wise and martial good saint grandson, but the result is ten years shorter than the obese and foot-sick Renzong, and he is embarrassed to panic when he thinks about it.

As for Zhu Qiyu's longevity plan, it is naturally to breathe the freshest air in the mountains all day long, drink the clearest and sweetest spring water, and bathe in the most comfortable hot springs.

Another important point is to maintain a relaxed and relaxed state of mind, and try to worry about trivial things as much as possible.

Zhu Qiyu has been practicing this set of theories, and the affairs of the imperial court have all been assigned to the cabinet and the six ministries. I only occasionally issue a few edicts on major policies.

The affairs of the family were completely distributed to the fifteen favorite concubines. The favorite concubines perform their duties according to their own strengths. Some are in charge of accounts, some are in charge of granges and shops, some are in charge of knitting women, some are in charge of rouge and gouache, and some are in charge of the art and painting in the house.

Zhu Qiyu is only responsible for being the backbone at home.

Back in the room, the concubines served and undressed, Zhu Qiyu fell on the bed and never moved again.

Lin Xiangyu drilled into Zhu Qiyu's arms like a kitten, covered the brocade quilt, and stopped moving.

Qianxue sat on the other side and asked with an embarrassed face: "Husband, Queen Qian wants to be a monk over there, saying that she wants to pray for the emperor, do you agree?" ”

"How much?"

Zhu Qiyu asked weakly.

"Thirty thousand."

Light Snow replied with great certainty.

Zhu Qiyu was amused when he heard this: "I wondered, these stupid women in Xuanzong's family are stunned to believe in Buddhism."

If the Buddha is really so effective, why would the emperor of our family suffer those big sins outside the fortress.

also paid 30,000 monks, these so-called monks, in addition to being lazy and lazy, abducting and cheating, can they do anything for the benefit of the country and the people?

Besides, if you really believe in the Buddha, you can practice it yourself, so why do you have to be recognized by others if you are a monk or not? ”

Qianxue smiled: "It doesn't matter, husband, don't be idle with these sluts." Anyway, our family is a believer, and the Emperor Taishang's family believes in Buddhism, so we don't interfere with each other. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction.

Qianxue asked again: "Then how many monks will be granted to Queen Qian?" ”

Zhu Qiyu replied categorically: "Don't give one." The dignified queen, I don't know if I am sympathetic to the people, I still have to raise such a large group of moths for what.

Not only do you have to refuse, but if Queen Qian knows to increase the burden on the people all day long like this in the future, then send her on the road quickly, Daming doesn't need such a queen. ”

Zhu Qiyu had to rejoice, fortunately, the original Princess Wang had already hit the road, and that one was even more superstitious about Buddhism than Queen Qian.

That is, destroying the Buddha is easy for the emperor to hang up inexplicably, so Zhu Qiyu resisted the impulse.

At this time, Lin Xiangyu suddenly showed her head and smiled at Qianxue: "This girl, it is easy for the husband to deal with the political affairs, and as soon as you come back, you will make him angry, and you have to let the husband punish you well." ”

"Well, it really deserves to be punished, and when I think about what new methods I should give the girl."

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, the cabinet reorganized the Suncheonfu Township Test.

This time, the examination room was arranged in the square between the Fengtian Temple and the Fengtian Gate.

The examiner and invigilator were all changed.

But the title is still the same as the original.

Zhu Qiyu is not afraid that the candidates will take advantage of the chaos caused by the fire in the tribute field and have the opportunity to communicate with each other.
