Since the emperor asked, Shen Yi was naturally bitter: "Qi Qi Sheng, the orthodox dynasty has conquered Luchuan for ten years, and it has been paid for half the world." The people's livelihood in the south withered, and the north suffered from civil engineering changes, and fought against Warat for many years.

After his accession to the throne, he took turns exempting the provinces from taxes and forced labor for the first three years, and later exempting the provinces from all arrears.

After that, he recovered Annam, conquered Burma, Siam and other countries, pacified Korea, and then attacked Japan.

The imperial court simply did not have the energy to accumulate reserves of grain and grass.

In recent years, there have been many famines, and the people have no surplus food.

The household is also a good woman, and it is difficult to cook without rice. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "The widow knows that it is not easy for the household, and there will be no new wars in the next few years." In another five or six years, the grain of Annam, Korea, Burma, and Siam will be available to the imperial court, and we will be much more relaxed at that time. ”

When everyone heard this, they felt a little relieved, and the battle for years was finally coming to an end. Since the orthodox pro-government, until now in the seventh year of Jingtai, the imperial court has been fighting all the time, and there has not been a day of peace.

After Shen Yi finished complaining, it was the turn of the Ministry of Rites, and Shangshu Wang Yining said: "Shengshang, the king of Qin died, and the prince of Qin begged for a year's rice advance with his huge family and no funeral expenses. ”

Zhu Qiyu replied: "Isn't there a lot of money in the household department that can't be used up, the King of Qin is the head of the clan, so it is advisable to treat him preferentially, and give him 10,000 taels of silver for the funeral." ”

Wang Yining asked again: "Dare to ask the saint, which vassal king should succeed Zongzheng?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Let's talk about it later, the sect has been peaceful recently, and it is enough to have a great sect." ”

To Zhu Qiyu's surprise, Wang Yining did not retreat, and continued to play: "Holy Lord, Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin cannot humble the clansmen, and the 54th generation of the first saint Sun Kexun is the patriarch, and the 57th generation of Sun Yan is the magistrate, and they are not in agreement.

So the uncle of the Yanjin clan, Zu Kexu and others, and Chen Yanjin did not discipline and did a number of evil things.

Yan Jin also played Kexu and other arrogant desires to pour themselves, and they all went down to inspect the Shandong Imperial History and other officials.

The imperial history is mixed with its feelings, and Kexu and other disciples are not convinced by the clansmen, so it is advisable to choose them instead.

Yan Jin's performance is also in vain, please add the guilt. ”

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "Emperor Han is constantly doing official affairs, let them go." ”

The ministers heard it clearly, and the emperor's contempt for the Kong family was overflowing, and he didn't bother to hide it.

But there was no way, everyone could only pretend not to hear clearly, because even if everyone went up together and had a group of Confucians to fight the Son of Heaven, they would not be able to win in the end.

Whenever you talk about Confucius and Mencius, the emperor always responds with only the four words 'World Cultivation Table', and if he is not straight, he will not be strong, and he will only take humiliation on himself.

can only vaguely go past and find another way.

After the Ministry of Rites tossed, He Wenyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, stood up again: "Shengshang, the former Li Lian, the former left political counselor of Guangdong, was promoted to the right political envoy of Jiangxi with the merit of arresting Kou.

More than 3,000 soldiers and civilians in Xinhui County, Guangdong, begged Li Lian to stay in Guangdong. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, if you want to stay, stay in office.

He Wenyuan asked again: "Zheng Tai, the left attendant of the Nanjing Criminal Department, has been in office for a long time since Chen, but fortunately he has not made any mistakes, so he begged to be transferred to a position in order to report it. ”

Zhu Qiyu frowned, it is rare to hold a small court meeting in half a year, and the ministers' performances should all have deep meaning.

What are they trying to express today?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Qiyu replied: "Then change to the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites." ”

The Ministry of Rites always loves some people who are against the emperor, Zhu Qiyu does not believe in evil, and gives Zheng Tai a chance to try.

I gave the opportunity, I also gave face, if you can contribute to the easy storage, then continue to be promoted and reused. If you just want to be promoted, but don't want to be loyal, then sit on a cold bench in the Ministry of Rites until you die.

He Wenyuan continued to ask: "Supervisor Zhang Ming will elect an official to serve as an officer, and he will be the corresponding official in Nanjing, and he will be the counselor of the Nanjing Military Department, and Zhang Chunzi, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, will be able to go on a blind date day and night, and get a total of supplementary reports. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, the ministry wants to let him be any official?" ”

He Wenyuan replied: "The Ministry of Officials intends to be the director of the Guangdong Department of the Nanjing Household Department, and I also ask for the Holy Judge." ”

"Exactly."

Zhu Qiyu feels that he has touched the door a little, and today's things are all revolving around Shandong, Nanjing, and Guangdong, and they are all big things.

The two sides fought for a long time, and finally talked about the birthday, everyone asked the emperor to persuade the queen mother to withdraw the decree, and celebrate the festival every year, and the officials and women congratulated according to the court etiquette.

Zhu Qiyu didn't eat soft and hard, and smiled at everyone: "Since the change of the civil fort and the widow was forced to ascend the throne, the widow and the queen mother have never received congratulations.

Seven or eight years have passed like this, why do you have to disobey the edict on this innocuous edict today? ”

Zhu Qiyu was very dissatisfied with this matter, when I really celebrated my birthday, I said that I would not congratulate the court, but you didn't even persuade him, and he accepted the order happily. When my queen mother celebrated her birthday, she said that she would not be congratulated, and you were eager to accept it immediately.

Then I will now be as you wish, permanently exempt from the court, in the future you don't ask, we won't answer, everyone doesn't have to be hypocritical at all, isn't everyone happy, but such a good thing is in front of you, why do you refuse again?

The ministers are not stupid, once they really accept the order, it will be a serious violation of etiquette and law. The courtiers agreed never to congratulate the queen mother and the emperor, this is really an unheard of miracle, and everyone can use this matter as an excuse to attack the important ministers in the future.

Zhu Qiyu's actual purpose is not to be angry with the ministers, but to find out the attitude of the government and the opposition towards Prince Changyi.

The courtiers also understood that as long as the government and the opposition did not agree to Yi Chu, it meant that they would still be treated as a tyrant today.

Treat the son of today as a tyrant, and naturally all etiquette is disorderly.

The emperor's attitude is easy to understand, you don't recognize my eldest son as the crown prince, so naturally you still take me as a tyrant. You have taken me as a tyrant, and my mother and I naturally do not bother to accept your reluctant congratulations.

The important ministers present knew the emperor's temper too well, and now the emperor was extremely dissatisfied, and over time, if the emperor's demands were not met, the emperor would naturally forcibly change the emperor and start killing.

To exempt the court is to express its position in advance, and when the time comes, the situation in the court will be in turmoil, so don't say it unexpectedly.

Everyone secretly looked at Zhu Wenfang, who was sitting next to the emperor, and recently the emperor often appeared on various occasions with his son, which was also an obvious signal.

The key is that others can't stop it, anyway, as long as you dare to ask, the emperor is unwell and has to let the prince serve left and right.

You ministers are in charge of heaven and earth, can you still manage the filial piety of other people's children?

The contradiction is here, as long as it is not a person with water in his head, he knows that Zhu Wenfang will be the next emperor sooner or later.

The problem is that the government and the opposition do not recognize Zhu Wenfang as the crown prince now, so naturally they can't control him.

The next emperor worships the master and decides on such a big thing as a wife, all of which are decided by the emperor, and the government and the opposition do not even have the opportunity to put forward opinions, let alone participate in decision-making.

And the emperor is also very reasonable: Anyway, if you don't recognize Zhu Wenfang as the crown prince, then he is just the prince of Qi. I'll marry Qi Shizi's apprenticeship, it's your business.

Therefore, the name is not right, the words are not good, and the emperor is not happy, so he pulls the ministers into the water, and everyone is not happy together.

After disgusting the ministers, Zhu Qiyu began to talk to the ministers about the land reform of Jeju Island. If the reform is successful, the next step is to extend it to Liaodong.

Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and there are ownerless wastelands everywhere. Even if it is used to grow sorghum, it is better than the current barrenness.
