There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary.

Although it has been purged many times, the eunuchs and palace maids in the entire imperial city together are still close to 10,000.

The roots of the factions in this are extremely complex, and the loyalty of the eunuchs is just like that, worshipping the high and stepping on the low, and tending to the flames and the power, are all the norm.

So not only Zhu Qizhen was confused, but Zhu Qiyu himself gradually couldn't understand it.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head, if you don't understand, you can't understand it, people can't be too persistent, you have to learn to reconcile with yourself, if you don't like to watch, then it's good not to watch.

Zhu Qiyu instructed Qianxue: "Let Chen Xiang temporarily take charge of the internal official supervisor." Tell him that it's okay to demolish the old palace, but don't really go and rebuild Inshou Palace.

If you can delay it, you can delay it, anyway, the Empress Dowager Sun doesn't have many days, so don't waste the people's hard-earned money anymore. ”

Qianxue nodded and smiled: "Husband is really bad, Gong asked the emperor to send Chen Xiang to Queen Qian to ask for rare treasures, and you sent Chen Xiang to demolish the palace where Queen Qian lived, which can offend Queen Qian to death."

Whoever Chen Xiang provoked, you two emperors did this to him. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, the emperor is not bad, the eunuch doesn't love it, I'll compensate him in the future."

……

For the next two days, the palace and the Qi Palace's palace were silent.

However, the capital is very lively, with streets and alleys and discussions.

The residents of the capital are already more concerned about the situation than the people in other places. In addition, the news and rumors that have appeared recently are full of topics, so the enthusiasm of the people in Beijing to discuss politics is unprecedentedly high.

Among the more glamorous topics, there are obvious insinuations in the "Demon Concubine Secret Record", and there are rumors that the emperor has a dragon and two phoenixes, is diligent in illness, and is taught and persuaded by the queen mother and the queen.

There is also a topic involving conspiracy, the queen mother's henchman eunuch Jin Ying designed to poison the prince with the intention of blaming the emperor; and the gradually spread that the Empress Dowager Yin took the son of the palace as her own son, and the emperor Gong Rang may actually be born to an ordinary palace maid.

The policy of the court in an upright manner, which abolished the judicial privileges of the vassal king, and since then the vassal king has violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, which has sparked heated discussions.

The most relevant to the people is that the emperor clearly issued a decree to suppress Buddhism, banning all Buddhist temples in Xishan and dismissing all monks.

The emperor, who had gradually gained the approval of the people in the capital, had an edict to suppress the Buddha and went backwards.

The atmosphere of the capital is, firstly, extravagant comparison, and secondly, advocating Buddhism.

Catching up with an emperor who was hostile to Buddhism is difficult for most people to agree with.

May 15th, early in the morning.

Chen Xiang, who was temporarily in charge of the internal official supervisor, entered the Forbidden City with a large number of craftsmen and began the demolition and cleaning of part of the palace.

The three major halls of the former dynasty, the Qianqing Palace, the Cining Palace, and the Xian'an Palace, which were destroyed by fire, were thoroughly cleaned up. Remove all the debris from the ruins.

There is also the demolition of the West Sixth Palace and the Qin'an Palace, and various materials are used to rebuild the Inshou Palace.

Of course, these are all from the beginning, Zhu Qiyu's real purpose is to demolish all the palaces around the Yinghua Palace, so that the Yinghua Palace will completely become an island, and this will be the lifelong prison of the Empress Dowager Sun in the future.

The origin of this inspiration is that the historical Jingtai Emperor imprisoned Zhu Qizhen, locked the gate of the South Palace and filled it with lead, and removed all the trees inside and outside the South Palace, so as to broaden the horizon and facilitate monitoring.

As for demolishing more than half of the Forbidden City, how will you live in the future? Zhu Qiyu doesn't care about this, he won't come to live, and his son won't come to live.

As for his grandson, he can't take care of it. One generation is in charge of one generation, and after a generation, people won't listen to me. If he is stupid, and he has to be like the previous Ming Emperors, who loves the Forbidden City and lives to death, then I can't help it.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and when stupid children and grandchildren die, there are naturally wise children and grandchildren who continue to be emperors.

Today, the wind and the sun are beautiful, Zhu Qiyu woke up early from the gentle township, and before he was fully awake, he heard Lin Xiangyu attached to his ear and whispered:

"Husband, let's have an affair today, right?"

"Cheating? Where to steal? ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "It's getting hotter and hotter, let's go to the Qingliang Hall to play." The Qingliang Hall is in the small hill on the western slope, with the shade and the sun.

Moreover, the cool spring behind the hall is cold and sweet, and we have led the spring water out and built a huge outdoor swimming pool.

Now that I am going to swim to escape the heat, how about the slave family dancing in the pool to show my husband? ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded again and again when he heard this: "Okay, well, dancing in the water, it sounds wonderful, it seems that the demon concubine is going to charm the king again, and the widow will have to criticize and criticize it for a while." ”

Zhu Qiyu was easily abducted in this way.

As a result, when I arrived at the Qingliang Palace, I found that it was not the same thing at all. Good princess, her face changed in an instant.

The poor Emperor Jingtai wiped the table and swept the floor in the cool hall, and worked all morning.

Then he went to the brook to set up a fire and grill fish, and served the princess to eat.

Zhu Qiyu sat on a piece of bluestone, let Lin Xiangyu sit on his lap, grilling the fish, and hugging the little princess and laughing.

Zhu Qiyu laughed at himself: "I asked Chen Xiang to demolish the palaces around the Empress Dowager Sun, but as a result, today he cleaned the palace in the Forbidden City, and I will clean the palace here."

Chen Xiang is not the worst, because he only needs to command from the sidelines. I'm worse than him, I'm commanded, and I have to do it myself. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "Doesn't the husband really plan to cut through the mess quickly and directly dispose of the Empress Dowager Sun?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Some people will be foolish, let me kill the Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen as soon as possible, can I listen to their irresponsible fooling."

It's very easy to kill them, and after that? How to deal with the aftermath? What do people in the world think? How do you write a history book?

Even if I don't care, what about our son, can I be happy when I become an emperor in the future?

I'm going to pass on to him a great empire that's safe and thriving, not a mess full of hidden dangers. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Qiyu took a sip of milk angrily, and continued to explain: "Do you see whether Emperor Taizong is powerful, he killed Emperor Jianwen cleanly, and then, is he happy?"

It's not that he has lived in the shadow of Jianwen all his life, and he has been worried about the infamy of his chaotic ministers and thieves all his life.

In the second half of his life, Taizong fought in the east and west for his martial arts and martial arts, in order to win legal orthodoxy, and finally died in Yumuchuan, but he failed to die peacefully at home.

Isn't it all about making life better for future generations?

You look at the battle for the throne of the Taizong Dynasty as if the dust has settled, but in fact, it still leaves a huge hidden danger, which makes our emperors helpless. ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "Husband is talking about the problem of the vassal king, right?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Hey, Taizong rebelled against the throne, and after he became the emperor, what he was most afraid of was that other vassal kings would follow suit and play on the side of the Qing monarch."

Therefore, the Ming dynasty's vassal system was completely destroyed, and the court guarded against the vassal king, like a thief; The imperial court raises the prince like a pig.

In this way, the vassal king could not play the role of defending the emperor, but also caused a huge burden of support to the imperial court.

It's not obvious now, and in a few generations, it will be difficult to return. At that time, the emperor had no clan to rely on, and Wenchen became bigger and began to have the ability to resist the emperor.

And those vassal kings, in the fish and meat villages, the grass and the people's lives, encroached on the fertile land, and accumulated huge wealth.

In the end, the court had no money, and the poor couldn't survive; The people have no money, and they can't live poor.

There are only fat and oily vassal kings left.

Therefore, the biggest problem I faced as emperor was that I had to carry out a thorough reform of the clan.

I will first cut off the unreasonable privileges of the suzerain, and then let go of the restrictions on the suzerain, so that they can come out and serve the country. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "Husband, isn't he afraid of appearing on the side of the vassal king Qingjun again?" ”

Zhu Qiyu replied indifferently: "Think about it, starting from the Han Dynasty, in the Great Unification Dynasty, the vassal king succeeded in rebelling in a corner of the land, and it was Taizong who was the case.

How could our Daming be so unlucky, and can there be another case.

If you take another 10,000 steps back, it is really the end of the dynasty, the court is weakened to the extreme, and the rebellion by the vassal king is successful.

If he succeeds, he will succeed, it is better than letting Daming fall into the hands of a foreign race. Just like the Great Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty is gone, but there are still clans that stand up to establish the Eastern Han Dynasty and achieve prosperity in the Middle Kingdom.

The Eastern Han Dynasty is also the Han Dynasty, and the same Emperor Gao is the Taizu, and the same is the Emperor Xiaowen as the Taizong.

So, it's good to think about everything. Let's try our best to pave the way for our children and grandchildren, do our best, and obey the destiny of God. Later, look at their own creation. ”

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "The concubine understands, the husband is not in a hurry to get rid of the Sun family, but repeatedly pulls, the fundamental reason is to be able to carry out a thorough battle for the concubine."

So as to completely eliminate the legal system of the Sun lineage, and leave the descendants with an undisputed world in the future. ”
