Geng Yu asked again: "Father, is it really appropriate to store easily?" Xuanmiao is located in King Yi, and after the change of civil engineering, the ministers supported the eldest son of King Yi as the crown prince.

It seems that the Yiwang family is orthodox, and now we support the change of the prince, isn't it disloyal? ”

Hearing this, Geng Jiuchou was so angry that he almost smashed his son with a teacup: "The king of Dongwu County, Jianwen's son-in-law, the saint is personally sealed, and he is raised in Beijing."

You go to the palace immediately, kneel three times and bow nine times, and swear allegiance to the king of Dongwu County, and I will respect you as a true loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, you should hurry up and save my province, in the words of the saint, who doesn't know who in this world, what kind of big-tailed wolf you are, you tell me which loyal minister you are. ”

Geng Yu was asked again, Jianwen's son-in-law Zhu Wengui is a dynasty in the hands of the emperor, whoever breaks the legitimacy, the emperor will order whoever to be loyal to the king of Dongwu County. If you refuse to be loyal, then you are a false loyal servant pretending to be a wolf with a big tail; If you go to be loyal, then stop boasting that you are a loyal servant of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qizhen.

Up and down the government and the opposition, countless people with lofty ideals racked their brains, but they couldn't think of a way to crack it.

In political struggle, it is also necessary to talk about the reputation of a teacher.

Straightness is the only way to be strong.

The entire Taizong lineage, from the emperor to the ministers, are all chaotic ministers and thieves, and they can't be cleaned.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu pulled down his face and exposed his shortcomings, which was morally a way of playing that would end up together, so that the government and the opposition could not parry.

In addition, Xuanmiao Concubine Sun Yin took the son of the palace as his own son, regardless of whether the government and the opposition believe it or not, anyway, it has been confirmed in legal theory, and it is also written in the history books.

Unless Jingtai can be completely overthrown, the case will not be overturned at all.

If the case can't be overturned, the legitimacy of Zhu Qizhen's throne will be fundamentally shaken.

There are still old and young, so the effect is not obvious. But in a hundred years, this will be a complete ironclad case.

He Wenyuan's son, He Qiaoxin, and Wang Wen's son Wang Lun, are all Jingtai Jinshi. Therefore, Wang Wen and He Wenyuan, like Geng Jiuchou, planned early to pave the way for their son and send him to Zhan Shifu.

At least at the cabinet level, all the scholars are thinking about how to deal with the changes in the power structure after Yichu, and no one wants to obstruct Yichu.

Civil and military officials, at the middle and lower levels, there are still many people who can't figure it out. But the people who really had the courage to stand up and fight the emperor in the ring are extinct.

They are all two Jinshi, they are all well-educated, most of the officials are not stupid, and they have already seen that many of the civil and military officials who opposed the emperor before have died in vain.

And now in the court, all the important ministers who are loyal to Xuanmiao and orthodoxy have been purged. The toughness of the emperor's methods and resolute attitude were extraordinary.

The next two months were peaceful. The emperor still ignored the court, and when it came to military and political affairs, the cabinet was handling them on the surface.

On the eighth day of August, in the middle of summer, cicadas and birds sing.

Zhu Qiyu took the concubines to live in the Qingliang Palace, in the Yuquan Mountain, the green trees are luxuriant, the springs and streams are flowing, which is very cool and elegant.

Zhu Qiyu got up early, sat on the couch with a quilt, and sighed while flipping through the newspaper: "Don't look at these Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty who are particularly able to live, they may not be able to survive me."

I have no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer; No charcoal in winter, no ice in summer. Breathing the freshest air and drinking the sweetest spring water every day, I don't believe that I won't live to ninety-nine. ”

It's a pity that as soon as he finished boasting, Zhu Qiyu saw a notebook from Chen Jian, an envoy from Shandong: Mount Tai moved, like the wrath of the gods, destroying thousands of people's houses and injuring hundreds of people.

In addition, floods in Jinan, Dongchang, and Yanzhou in Shandong Province have been continuous, damaging tens of thousands of hectares of farmland, displacing people, and causing turmoil.

Zhu Qiyu stroked his forehead with his hand: "This is over, Mount Tai is moving, and the government and the opposition must be thinking about the emperor's immorality."

Shandong was hit by a disaster, and the people were struggling to make a living, so I was even more to blame. If it weren't for my continuous expeditions, there would not have been a shortage of storage, so that the imperial court would not be able to get enough food for disaster relief. ”

Qianxue handed over another notebook: "Husband, look at it, Henan is not good, and all the lower reaches of the Yellow River have suffered." It seems that Henan is more serious than Shandong. ”

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands: "There is no way to rectify it, the Beijing Division has also suffered, and Shanxi has also suffered a disaster, fortunately I left the main force of the pro-army in the Beijing Division, otherwise the Beijing Division or Shanxi would also have to make a civil uprising."

I don't know anywhere else, but the whole province of Shanxi has long hated me. ”

Qianxue smiled and comforted: "The husband is too worried, the gentry and people of Shanxi should not dare to be so excessive." ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "If I suddenly hang up, you must remember that among the gentry and people of the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi is the most unreliable.

You look at these things that Shanxi did from the Xuande Dynasty to the Orthodox Dynasty.

First of all, from the local magistrates to the gentry and the powerful, they colluded with each other, and compared themselves with each other, and all the treasury warehouses in Datong, Xuanfu and other places were 'borrowed'.

Then, with the support of the central Sanyang, the local officials cooperated with the gentry to carry out the smuggling trade, which raised the great trouble of Wara.

There is also the encroachment on the land of the guard, the exploitation of the soldiers, which led to the collapse of the guardhouse system and the flight of the soldiers.

By the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the Shanxi Guard had little combat effectiveness, and the rest were led by some traitors to play double reeds with the Wara people to deceive the imperial court.

Zhu Qizhen first transferred 40,000 or 50,000 Beijing camps to Datong, but as a result, Yanghekou fought a battle, was colluded with internal and external, and all of them were killed.

In desperation, Zhu Qizhen started the personal campaign. ”

Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea, and then continued: "It is said that Zhu Qizhen should not be recruited in person, and it is right to stay in Beijing. The problem is, send the general, the facts have proved that the general will not win, but will only be annihilated.

The emperor is guarding in Beijing, if he doesn't conquer it in person, it won't be long before the entire province of Shanxi will be gone, and Ren Wara will burn and loot at will.

After robbing Shanxi, and then robbing Gyeonggi, it still can't be stopped, and it will still be killed under the city of Beijing first.

From the perspective of hindsight, we feel that the pro-conquest is wrong. In fact, at that time, it was also a last resort. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked: "Why did my husband change his personality today and start fighting for Zhu Qizhen?" ”

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "I'm not fighting for Zhu Qizhen, I'm saying that those people in Shanxi are really fucking bastards."

I want to kill them all in one go.

Anyway, you have to remember that my hatred with Shanxi is very deep, I hate them for hating poison, and they hate me for poisoning, so you must not let your guard down against them.

And in another one or two hundred years, they will still collude with foreigners and engage in smuggling. ”

Zhu Qiyu can only talk about it to this extent, as for the eight locust merchants in Shanxi in later generations, others can't understand it now.

Qianxue said with a smile: "Don't think about these unhappy things first, husband, our family has hoarded a huge amount of grain in the past few years, so that the granary is almost unfilled."

We use our own grain to help the people of Beizhili and Shandong, which is completely enough to survive this year.

As for next year, it would be good to let Xu Youzhen bring back grain from the south.

The household department of Nanjing only needs to be responsible for raising grain for Henan. Shanxi ordered Li Bing to recover the arrears of the gentry and use them for disaster relief. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "It makes sense, how much grain do we have?" ”

Qianxue smiled: "Two million stones, you can easily take it out." ”

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, "Where did you get so much?" ”

"Don't you look at how much land our family has? The west side of the capital is almost entirely our land.

Xuanmiao loved Sun very much, and rewarded Sun Zhong with 4,000 hectares of land in one breath. These lands were later raided, and they all came into our hands.

The Guangsun family copied out five or six thousand hectares before and after. There are also lands of eunuchs large and small, and there are even more of them.

Our family is the largest landlord in the capital, and it should also be the largest landlord in the Ming Dynasty. ”
