On the fifth day of December, early in the morning, the content of the holy decree was published in the newspaper, and the emperor made a final decision on the coffin of the witch Gu case. This sudden turmoil has finally come to an end.

The way it ended was beyond everyone's expectations: in the past month, it has been another campaign for Prince Changyi, and another threat to depose the emperor.

But in the end, it was lifted high and gently lowered. Only Empress Zhou, the biological mother of the crown prince, Concubine Qian Ling, the former queen, and Concubine Wan Chen, lost their lives and positions.

Rest, how it was before, how it is now.

Even, Yang Xun also received the next year's screen custom task. At this point, Yang Xun finally believed Wang Yan's analysis, and when today's son is really magnanimous, he will not care.

Next, the center of gravity of the imperial court returned to Enko. December 20 is the day of the township examination.

Through the township examination, 3,000 Wenju and 3,000 Wuju were selected from all over the country.

In February next year, there will be an exam, a palace exam. At the beginning of March, the list was released, and officials were dispatched, all in one go.

The reason for this rush was that the war in the south was going so well that it was urgent to send officials to take over the occupied land.

The cabinet repeatedly asked the emperor to hold court meetings, but Zhu Qiyu politely refused.

However, Zhu Qiyu did not do anything perfectly, and promised Jingtai to hold a Zhengdan Dynasty on the first day of the first month of the fourth year of Jingtai, make a summary of the past year, and then make overall arrangements for the new year.

Those with keen judgment have realized that the fourth year of Jingtai is a very important year, and there will be many big things happening. And there will be a lot of things that the emperor will announce during the Zhengdan Dynasty.

Although the cabinet was unable to meet the emperor, it was finally given great autonomy by the emperor, and now there is no trouble for the emperor, so it also handles military and political affairs in an orderly manner.

Only the position of the crown prince fell into extreme embarrassment.

For Zhu Jianshen, his father has been placed under house arrest and has completely lost his freedom, and his influence on the government is almost negligible. His mother not only died, but also was charged with the crime and was deposed as a concubine.

A prince whose parents are both sinners, and the relationship between him and the emperor or an uncle and nephew, is so embarrassing and embarrassing.

Liu Dingzhi, Lin Cong, Ye Sheng and others who were subordinate officials of the East Palace were also completely desperate, in this situation, unless the emperor died violently in recent years, it would be Zhuge Liang's reincarnation, and he would also be able to assist the prince to ascend the throne.

As long as the emperor's eldest son and second son are more than ten years old in another eight years, even if the emperor dies violently, it will not work.

These facts are so obvious that even the eunuchs and palace maids of Ciqing Palace can see them clearly. Therefore, the change in the attitude of the people in the palace towards the crown prince is visible to the naked eye, and it is almost undisguised slackness.

Princess Annam and Princess Joseon, who were married to the crown prince, were even more arrogant and abnormal.

Concubine Cheng, who is responsible for taking care of the crown prince, is also powerless about this, or Concubine Cheng doesn't want to do anything for the crown prince at all.

After the Tumubao Incident, the Emperor sent sixteen women to Emperor Gongrang. Later, the Jingshi mutinied, and Empress Zhou hanged a large number of concubines in the name of not being humiliated by the chaotic army.

Of the sixteen women, only seven women, including Concubine Cheng, survived.

Concubine Cheng and others naturally want to take revenge, this time the Emperor of the Witch Gu case handled it so smoothly, it seems that there is a lot of luck, but in fact, it is inseparable from the efforts behind the seven sisters of Concubine Cheng.

Beneath the surface of chance is the inevitable cycle of cause and effect.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

December 20 is the day of the township examination.

Zhu Qiyu vacated 20 Buddhist temples in Beijing for the purpose of accommodation and exam preparation for candidates.

This good governance has been well received by students who are rushing to take the exam. Every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place. Good candidates have no fixed place to live, but a group of bald donkeys who have no size for the country live in magnificent temples, and they eat with fat brains, which makes people angry to think about.

Not only the support of students, a few days ago, the emperor issued an edict, announcing that all the Buddhist temples in Beijing would be converted into schools, libraries and other public places for reading and educating people. More than sixty or seventy percent of the people in Beijing still support this measure.

The dissatisfied part is the person who loves the Buddha to the core.

However, the emperor left a concentrated Buddha worship area in the outer city, which can be regarded as leaving a way for those who love Buddha to die and live.

Generally, it will rain on the day of such a big exam. It's winter, it's cold, and it's snowing instead.

Zhu Qiyu was crooked on the soft couch, admiring the snow scene outside the window.

In the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood.

Qianxue and Suxi took turns reading the military newspaper in the south, and Zhu Qiyu counted Lin Xiangyu's fingers: "Annam, Burma, Bangladesh, and there are three more provinces in Daming."

In just these three provinces, I am afraid that the Jinshi selected by Enke this time is a bit insufficient.

There is also a province in Gansu, and a large number of civil and military generals are also needed to add to it.

There is also the Northeast, which should also be set up as a province. If you continue to maintain this state of slave gandusi, it will not be a hundred years before your descendants will have to shrink back.

In two years, Wusizang will set up a province, and East Chagatai will set up a province, as well as Siam, Champang, and Chenla, which are all provinces. If you don't get it right, you'll have to drive Enko two or three more times. ”

After reading the southern military report, Qianxue still didn't stop: "There is also a military newspaper in the north, and North Korea has Chen soldiers on the border, and the intention is unknown." ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "It doesn't matter, although I am not interested in attacking North Korea, if they insist on looking for death, I don't mind giving them a ride."

But I don't send it myself, I ask Japan to give North Korea a ride, and then I send Japan another ride.

In the end, a trade system was formed with the mountain delicacies of Korea and Jurchen, the gold and silver minerals of Japan, and the porcelain, tea and other materials of our Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the imperial court will have money, and then form a more powerful navy to spread the gospel of the Ming Dynasty in the West. ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "My husband's heart is so big, the ten fingers of the slave family are not enough for you to count." ”

"Hey, I'm just getting close to my concubine for some reason, in fact, my mental arithmetic ability is quite strong."

As he was talking, Ning Xiang and Linglong came over carrying a tray, on which were more than a dozen cups, bowls, plates, and pots.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Ning Xiang said with a smile: "The sisters in Shandong don't come back for the New Year, they specially sent some gifts back. This is a newly fired utensil from our glass factory in Qingzhou. ”

Zhu Qiyu took a teapot and looked at the sunlight outside the window. The body of the pot is crystal clear, the pot is depicted with several plum blossoms, and there are beauties under the plum blossoms who are sniffing the fragrance of the flowers, which is really bright and eye-catching, lifelike.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhu Qiyu praised: "What an ingenious process, the technique of outlining and painting inside, it is the same as a snuff bottle, but this one is much bigger than a snuff bottle."

Okay, let's take it for rewards, let's not use it ourselves. ”

Ning Xiang asked curiously, "Since the husband praised it for its exquisiteness, why didn't he keep it for himself?" ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "It contains harmful things such as lead, and long-term exposure of adults to this kind of thing will affect fertility and reduce life expectancy."

Children who are exposed to this kind of thing for a long time are prone to developmental delay, especially if the brain is affected, they will become stupid, and even a variety of poisons will be superimposed, and they will die early.

Let's be down-to-earth and practical jade, better than anything else. ”

Ning Xiang nodded: "That's right, since I lived in Yuquan Mountain with my husband, I lived in the jade pile every day, drank jade spring water, took a hot spring bath, and the slave family slept much more fragrant than before, and I felt light, physically and mentally comfortable, and I was getting younger and younger." ”

Lin Xiangyu teased when she heard this: "Don't talk nonsense, you are because you are watered by your husband every day, of course, you are more and more moisturized." ”

Ning Xiang retorted: "It's as if you have received less watering than me, you look at your white and red skin, it looks like it is moisturized by a man." ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Okay, okay, you are all the same slaves, more and less are so clear." Let's hurry up and let Xue'er read the military report from the northwest, I am anxious to know if the obedient king of Warat has done the work for me. ”

Qianxue said with a smile: "Yes, King Su sent the left guard of Ganzhou, led by Su Shizi, and stationed in Yijinai. Then Su Shizi led the army to the northern grassland all day long to burn the wasteland, and he had already burned the warat. ”
