"Your Majesty!"
Hu Xi had to stand up and speak for Wang Zhi.
"Then the matter is settled like this."
Zhu Qiyu didn't listen at all, and waved his hand: "The elder Wang Ge will take the lead, and the other candidates will be decided by the cabinet department, so I won't ask."
"Your Majesty..." Hu Hui still wanted to say.
"Master!"
But Yang Xuan took the lead and said, "Your Majesty has not finished speaking, how can Taifu take the lead? I would like to ask Taifu to shut up and wait for His Majesty's permission before speaking again!"
Hu Xi's face changed slightly, are you so eager to be a dog?
Zhu Qiyu took a deep look at Yang Xuan. He was a smart man and could understand the situation between the DPRK and China.
His eyes moved down and looked at Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi was confused and knelt on the ground, receiving the order to thank him.
"Mr. Wangge, I have only one request. No one who caused trouble last night will be spared! Kill them all!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp.
Wang Zhi smiled miserably. The biggest commotion last night was Dongchang. How do you want me to arrest him?
You don't want to kill the minister, but you want all the officials in the court to turn into ferocious beasts and bite the minister to death.
"Old minister, I obey the order!" Wang Zhi sighed.
Hu Hui saw it and felt sad in her heart.
The court is different, the emperor is different.
The emperor's words cannot be refuted.
He could no longer control the emperor, unless he used that secret to detonate it and die together.
The biggest mistake in this life was to allow the emperor to kill Chen Xun.
Looking at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, he became unattainable. Slowly, he knelt on the ground.
Once I kneel down, I will never get up again.
"Old minister, I'm begging for the bones." Hu Hui solemnly placed the wat board on the ground and knocked it to the end.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes turned cold, and he used this trick to force me again? Is it still useful?
"Yang Xuan, you have made the old lady angry. Kneel down and beg for mercy." Zhu Qiyu smiled faintly and passed the blame to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan's face turned bitter and she knelt down towards Hu Hui.
Hu Hui was shocked. How could Yang Xuan kneel down to him when he was a minister in the same palace at the great court meeting? He has been the Minister of Etiquette for decades, how could he not even understand this etiquette?
He hurriedly dodged because he got up so violently that he felt dizzy and his eyesight went dark.
Yang Xuan was ruthless enough. She adjusted her kneeling position and kowtowed to him: "I beg the old master to please me and spare me!"
"Yang Xuan you!"
Hu Hui dodged again, but her body refused to obey her orders.
He is a medical scientist and is very good at maintaining health. He knows that his vitality is at its peak and there is a risk of paralysis.
"Please forgive me, old lady!"
Yang Xuan kowtowed.
Hu Xi opened her mouth, but could not speak.
In the Fengtian Hall, the scene was extremely embarrassing. Yang Xuan kowtowed to Hu Hui, and Hu Hui was speechless. The scene was extremely strange.
"No, I won't say goodbye!" Hu Hui couldn't bear it anymore. If she kept knocking him, he would easily be knocked to death.
Yang Xuan only accepted his magical power.
"Old Master, I've forgiven you, so please stop."
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Hurry up and help the old lady up and give him a seat!"
Yang Xuan was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He was no longer young. He slowly got up, fastened the wat board, and reached out to help Hu Ming.
Hu Hui pushed him away in disgust, but as soon as Yang Xuan let go, he sat on his butt!
"Yang Xuan, how can you throw Taifu!" Li Xian shouted angrily and quickly helped Hu Ming up.
Hu Hui was upset, rolled her eyes, and couldn't say a word.
Yang Xuan was even more happy and knelt down directly in front of Hu Hui: "I know I was wrong. I beg the old lady to spare my life!"
Hu Xi was speechless.
Yang Xuan kowtowed desperately, his forehead bleeding from the knock, and his begging for mercy was extremely shrill.
"You, you, you want to force me to death?" Hu Xiqiang calmly said these words. I was shaking all over, as if I was about to pass.
Li Xian stroked his back and helped him calm down.
When Yang Xuan wanted to speak, Li Xian scolded him: "Get out of here!"
Yang Xuan shut up angrily and did not dare to speak.
"Mr. Li Ge is so majestic!"
Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, snorted coldly: "If I hadn't been wearing a dragon robe and looked at this dilapidated Fengtian Hall, I would have thought it was the pigsty in Li Ge's hometown? I shouted at the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I really didn’t expect that Mr. Li Ge would be so domineering!”
"Old minister, I made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Li Xian knelt on the ground to plead guilty. He did not expect that the emperor openly protected Yang Xuan. Was he really going to force Hu Hui to death?
Hu Hui's body swayed from side to side, as if he was about to succumb.
Seeing that the emperor was protecting Yang Xuan, the courtiers scolded Li Xian one after another and turned Li Xian into a dog.
Li Xian kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth raised. This is the emperor.
"Your Majesty."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Now is not the time for internal fighting. Although Mr. Li Ge made a mistake, he is still devoted to the country. Let him go."
All the officials stopped talking.
Li Xian swallowed, pay attention to the emperor's wording, let me go!
This is the emperor showing his noble hand and letting me off the hook!
All the key officials have listened. The era of Chen Xun is really gone forever. Starting from Yang Shiqi, the era of civilian power has passed.
He chuckled twice, and that bit of ambition that he shouldn't have was completely extinguished. Just treat it as a joke to the King Li Party.
Look at the emperor on the dragon throne again. That is the real emperor.
But it seems that he is not Emperor Taizong, more like Emperor Taizu!
Taizong's accession to the throne was unfair, and he also killed the ten clans of Fang Xiaoru and lost the ambition of civil servants. Therefore, Emperor Taizong wanted to lure him with power. Civil servants gradually came to power, and they had a cooperative relationship with Emperor Taizong.
But it's different now. Although he was not appointed by the late emperor's imperial decree, he was pushed up by the officials during the war. Now he suppresses people with force and rules the world with power. His temperament is violent and he is murderous. This is true. Taizu is still alive!
Li Xian looked at Wang Zhi inexplicably, as if he had seen his own fate.
Zhu Qiyu’s voice sounded:
"The problem before the court now is food!"
"Jinyiwei only rescued 150,000 shi of food, and I estimate that the capital has a population of at least one million, not counting those who have fled their households."
"This little food is just a drop in the bucket!"
"Everyone is talking about, how can we survive with this little food until the food arrives in Beijing?"
Baiguan frowned.
Not expecting the famine in the capital to be this serious, many courtiers coaxed the execution of the nine grain merchant clans.
"The veteran believes that water transportation is the most important, and we must hurry up with water transportation."
Lin Cong took the lead and said: "If there is even the slightest error in water transportation, it may cause chaos in the capital."
"The veteran thought that he could send cabinet officials, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang to the Water Transport Yamen to urge Jiangnan grain to enter Beijing."
"Send people to Nanjing again to take charge of the grain purchase. If necessary, Nanjing's defense can be mobilized to forcefully collect grain. Everything should be based on the stability of the capital!"
"Lin Ge is always adept at planning for the country, and water transportation must not be disrupted."
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Mr. Lin Ge, you will take the lead. Each of the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the General Affairs Department will appoint a chief officer. There is no limit to the number of people. Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Tiqi will all send people to follow, and the canal guard army will also return. You make arrangements to ensure the stability of water transportation, what do you think?"
"Old minister, I obey the order!" Lin Cong knelt down to receive the order.
He wanted to leave the whirlpool of the court. He was in an awkward position, and he was unwilling to be the emperor's sword, killing civil servants.
Wang Wen glanced at him and said, "Sooner or later, the emperor will kill you, a young man like you."
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for advice!"
Wang Wen came out and knelt down: "I heard that Chaotian Palace harbors imperial criminals, and the crime cannot be punished!"
"There are not many places where filth can hide in temples in the capital. However, His Majesty has the world in mind and his holy grace spreads far and wide, so he gives the monks a chance to change their ways. As long as they pay enough food, they can forget about it."
"This amount of food is voluntarily paid by monks and Taoists. Please name it after 'filial piety'."
He started to tremble. As an old member of the emperor's team and the emperor's number one lackey, his status naturally increased.
No matter who joins the royalist party in the future, he will have to worship him as his senior brother! The first brother of the royal party, his status cannot be shaken!
He is no longer afraid of Tumo Xingzi from the temple in Beijing.
A disaster is imminent in Chaotian Palace, and if you continue to refuse to spend money to avoid the disaster, the consequences will be even more serious. As for the temples in Beijing, if you want to blame it, let’s blame Tianshi Tao. They asked you to provide some food and buy your own dog’s life, which is very cheap for you.
"Xiao Liang, do you respect my grain?" Zhu Qiyu felt that this name promoted the monks.
"Old minister, please give me a name from your majesty!"
"Let's call them reformed. This is to give them a chance to reform. Anyone in the capital who has an ultimatum will pay one stone of grain!" Zhu Qiyu said fiercely.
"Your Majesty, one stone of grain is 153 catties (mingling)!"
Zhang Feng exclaimed: "And your Majesty is using the ultimatum as a calculation. I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 people in the capital who are demanding ultimatum. How can you force them to pay food?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "What good idea does Zhang Shangshu have?"
"Wei Chen thinks that it is calculated based on the size of the temple and the number of monks and Taoists. The largest one, such as Chaotian Palace, will pay 10,000 shi of grain, and the smallest one, such as a small roadside temple, will only pay 100 shi of grain."
The ministers exclaimed, they thought Zhang Feng was speaking for the monks and Taoists, but who would have thought that he could be more ruthless!
This is to dig out all the food accumulated by the monks.
It's not over yet.
Zhang Feng sneered: "Your Majesty opened his eyes and announced that the grain should be changed. There must be monks and Taoists who rely on the backstage and the middle and backstage of the court and the blessings of immortals and Buddhas to refuse to pay."
"The ministers think that they will use the temple land as a punishment. If the temple land is completely destroyed, the monks and Taoists will take back the ultimatum, starting from the abbot and Taoist priest. Those who take back the ultimatum will all return to the secular world."
"Those who return to secular life will be escorted by guards in golden robes to patrol the streets and eat meat as a ceremony to return to secular life!"
"Send the food to the Ministry of Household Affairs within three days!"
"If the payment is overdue, the amount will be doubled for every day of delay. If the payment is overdue for more than three days, the temple will be burned down, and all the monks and Taoists in the temple will have to do hard labor."
Cruel!
The emperor collects the money according to the ultimatum, but the collection speed is slow, and it will be corrupted at all levels, and there may not be much left in the household department.
But according to Zhang Feng's storage, it is different. It is collected according to temple specifications and moved directly from the temple. As for whether the food in the temple is enough or not, it is not a matter for the court to worry about. Anyway, there are enough monks and Taoists, so what is there to fear? of?
"Okay! Just accept it according to Zhang Shangshu's opinion!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up excitedly: "But Chaotian Palace is harboring imperial prisoners, and I have sent people to check it. As for temples of the same size, they will be collected at 20,000 dan. Those who cannot be collected will take back the temple fields and order them to return to secular life!"
What makes Zhu Qiyu even more happy is that Zhang Feng is seeking refuge with him.
"This matter is too involved and it is inconvenient for the court to come forward, so let the patrol battalion do it!"
Zhu Qiyu was worried that the upper levels of the court would reach out, causing insufficient food to be put into the warehouse, which would affect his big plan: "The General Affairs Department, the Secretary of Li Supervisor, and the Department of Household Affairs will send people to inspect! Send out all the planners, and not a single grain of food will be missing. !”
"I'll say it again, these grains are life-saving grains!"
"What we are saving is the lives of everyone in the court. If anyone dares to touch a single grain, I will punish his nine clans!"
"Did you hear that?"
"I obey the decree!" All the officials in Fengtian Palace kowtowed.
Only Hu Hui was sitting on the Jindun, breathing heavily. Seeing this, he also knelt on the ground with difficulty.
"Pingsheng." Zhu Qiyu said in a solemn tone.
"Your Majesty, please discuss again, how should we distribute these 150,000 stones of grain?"
"Old minister, let's start!"
Xue Xuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly went out of work: "I think that the food is mainly from refugees outside the city, who cook the rice into porridge, so I will keep it for now."
"But it's free?" Shi Pu asked.
"It's free, how can the government still collect money from refugees?" Xue Xuan asked in surprise.
"No!"
But Shi Pu shook his head: "If porridge is given out for free, I'm afraid all the people in the capital will abandon their homes and work to eat porridge!"
"Now is the time when the economy is lean. Even people in Gyeonggi may not have enough to eat. If I hear that Gyeonggi has free porridge, I'm afraid the people around will overwhelm Gyeonggi."
"A mere 150,000 shi of grain can't feed many mouths!"
"Shi Shangshu, the refugees outside the city have been tortured by merchants, how can we continue to seek their wealth?" Xue Xuan was angry.
Shi Pu was not angry and said with a smile: "When I control water, I have the best of both worlds."
"What a good idea!"
"When the old minister was managing the Yellow River, he would exchange porridge for labor. If you want to drink porridge, you have to work for the old minister. It is considered a fair trade." Shi Pu said with a smile.
"That's to manage the Yellow River. How can there be any work in Beijing?" Xue Xuan spread his hands.
"Mr. Xue, there is really something to do!"
Shi Pu smiled and said: "After last night's commotion, many places in Beijing need to be repaired, and labor is scarce, so why not trade porridge for labor."
"First of all, the porridge is not provided for free, and secondly, it can also accommodate the restless refugees."
"Relief with work." Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly.
Shi Pu's eyes lit up: "This word is just right. Yes, it means work-for-relief."
"The palace is dilapidated and the capital has suffered heavy losses. It really needs repairs."
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "What about the women and children?"
"The veteran believes that those who have families can build houses outside the city, and those who have no families, men and women will live separately, and women and children will live in the city."
Shi Pu considered it and said: "The merchants in the capital suffered heavy losses last night. We need manpower to rebuild. Why not hire some women..."
But before he finished speaking, Cui Gong retorted: "How can a woman show up in public? Where are the etiquette and laws of the court in our country?"
Many officials agreed with Cui Gong.
But Shi Pu insisted on arguing that if women and children were not allowed to work, how could they feed them?
Work-for-relief means that everyone must work to have food to eat, and those who don’t will die!
"Stop fighting!"
Zhu Qiyu was dissatisfied and snorted: "All the merchants in the capital are dead and everyone is dead. How can we recruit people?"
Shi Pu shrank his head. The emperor was really cruel. Someone must have slipped through the net last night and would come back to claim his property.
The emperor wanted to just surrender it and not return it. If he came to ask for it, he would kill him directly.
When it comes to black heart, you have to look at the emperor.
"Let's do this. The palace will organize the establishment of weaving and other factories, and recruit women to work in the factories to support themselves."
"Firstly, we can get rid of the gossip, and secondly, I am worried about how to arrange the maids in the palace."
"The cloth woven can be used as dowry for them, so they can all be married off."
Zhu Qiyu didn't want to keep any of these palace maids.
Don't worry about using it.
"As for the children, first free up the Caolan Factory in Li and set up a school here. The ministers are all great scholars. When they have nothing to do, they will come to the Caolan Factory to teach."
"In terms of food, eat less, a bowl of porridge every day, just don't starve to death. Just get through this period and you'll be fine."
"Older children who are willing to study can stay in Caolan Factory to study; those who want to have enough to eat can do hard labor; those who want to learn something can go to various ministries and departments to help, and the ministers will arrange them properly."
Zhu Qiyu targets these children.
Children are the future. He wanted to choose some smart ones to enroll in school before, but he just got it all at once.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the capital cannot afford to let all the children have free food!"
Shi Pu objected: "Those under ten years old will study in Caolan Factory, and those over ten years old must do hard labor."
"I know that Your Majesty loves and cares for his subjects, but there are only 150,000 shi of food in the capital."
"I am worried that the people in the capital have also run out of ammunition and food, and they also need food to save their lives."
"If there are millions of mouths, 150,000 shi of food will only last for more than ten days, and it can last for a month at most!"
"I believe that even if nothing goes wrong, I still have to hold some food in my hands. If I have food in my hands, I won't panic."
Shi Pu's words are based on the old man's advice to seek the country.
"What Lao Shangshu said is absolutely correct, so just follow what Lao Shangshu said."
Zhu Qiyu changed the topic: "Suddenly so many people gathered in the capital. You must pay attention to the epidemic. All the doctors from the imperial hospital were released and gathered together to treat the refugees outside the city. Preventing the epidemic is a top priority. It’s important, do you understand?”
"I understand!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "Shi Shangshu has a lot of rules for resettling the refugees, so he left it to Shi Shangshu and Ye Shangshu. The hundred officials in the capital are selected by them, so I will leave the matter of the refugees to them."
"With Shi Shangshu as the chief and Ye Sheng as the assistant, I will give you the expedient power of Shi Pu and the Emperor's Sword!"
"It is not a constraint that the palace sends Qin Chang to assist Minister Shi. Qin Chang often helps me handle documents. He is very organized and can help the old minister."
"As for the major factories, I leave it to the eunuch Dong Ci to control the Jingzhong equipment as soon as possible, open business as soon as possible, and resume production as soon as possible."
Upon hearing the emperor's words, everyone was speechless.
The emperor didn't even let the merchants' fixed assets go!
I'm afraid I want everything except the house.
"Shang Shu Shi, first build houses for the refugees outside the city."
"Plan the streets. I think the central part of the capital is too crowded and the open space outside the capital must be used. So we will build it according to the regulations of the central part of the capital."
"The Ministry of Industry will come up with the map first... By the way, can Kuai Xiang still move?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
Kuai Xiang is a god, the designer of the Tianmin Gate. The Beijing Imperial Palace, the first three halls of the Imperial Palace, the Five Prefectures and Six Ministries, Changling, Xianling, Longfu Temple, Beijing Xiyuan, etc. are all from his handiwork.
All the skilled carpenters from the south of the Yangtze River came from Xiangshan, and Kuai Xiang was the founder of the Xiangshan School.
"Although Minister Kuai is old, he is getting stronger with age!" Shi Pu said.
Kuai Xiang is now the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, but because of his old age and poor health, the emperor ordered him not to attend the morning court unless there was something important.
"Please ask Kuai Xiang to come out and plan the buildings outside the city for me!"
“It doesn’t have to be beautifully designed, it just needs to be livable like a residential house.”
Zhu Qiyu said: "I plan to move some people out of the capital and live outside the capital. From now on, the inside of the nine gates will be called the inner city, and the outside of the nine gates will be the outer city!"
"Your Majesty, there are no city gates outside Beijing to rely on. How can people live in peace of mind?" Shi Pu admonished.
"Of course we need to build a city gate, imitate the nine gates, and build nine more gates. The outer city will be more than four times larger than the inner city. No, four times is too small, more than ten times!"
"All the land occupied will be expropriated by the court and can be exchanged for money or housing."
Before Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Shi Pu said again: "Your Majesty, the capital is already majestic enough."
"Currently, Beijing has more than 200,000 households, making it the largest city in the world. How can it continue to expand?"
"I know your Majesty's heart. I want to use the majesty of the city to show the great achievements of the Ming Dynasty!"
"However, there are only these Dingkou in the capital, which is enough for housing. It is not appropriate to expand the city and recruit new Dingkou into the capital."
"If the number of people increases dramatically, water transportation will not be able to afford the food for these people!"
"Moreover, if the refugees are turned into citizens and have no land, how will they survive? There are already many idle gangsters in Beijing. If there are more, there may be hidden dangers to public security."
"And farmers have become citizens, who will cultivate the abandoned land?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned.
He was designed based on the capital masters of later generations. Only after this reminder did Shi Pu realize that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
There is not much grain production near the capital, and it is all supported by water transportation.
Seeing that Shi Pu frequently contradicted the emperor, hundreds of officials criticized Shi Pu.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "What the old minister said is true. I didn't think it through clearly. How about re-planning the outer city outside Zhengyang Gate?"
"Your Majesty wants to rebuild?" Shi Pu asked.
"That's all, let's not move the outer city of Zhengyang Gate first, and then build another outer city outside Chaoyang Gate."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The other city is named after Chaoyang. It is used to house the workers in the factory. A number of houses will be built. I plan to reward the meritorious soldiers in the Beijing camp!"
Shi Pu felt it was too extravagant and wasteful.
Beijing is completely open for living, although it is a little crowded, but there is no need to carry out large-scale construction to build the so-called Chaoyang City.
The point is that the capital cannot carry too many people, which is fine when it is in its prime. Once there is a famine, these people may come back to bite the court.
"Let's give the former outer city the name Zhengyang City."
Zhu Qiyu originally wanted to re-plan Zhengyang City, but Shi Pu was right, there could not be more Dingkou in the capital.
At least not until high-yielding corn is popularized.
"Those who occupy land should be rewarded with more money. Don't take other people's land for free."
"As for repairing the city, I plan to widen the streets."
"As for the occupied houses, if there are empty houses in the city, they will be replaced with them. If there are not enough houses in the city, they will be given to the houses in Chaoyang City. They will be bigger and rewarded with some money."
"The market in the city is too small and cannot accommodate enough merchants to expand the market."
"Choose a special place and set it up as a night market. The market will not stop at night, so it will be located in the Drum Tower."
"The Drum Tower can also be opened to the public. I will send eunuchs to collect the tickets, and the money for the tickets will go into the internal coffers."
Zhu Qiyu didn't finish his words.
"Your Majesty, the Drum Tower must not be opened!"
Wang Wen was shocked and said: "The Drum Tower is the commanding heights in the capital. Standing on it, one can overlook the whole capital and even peek into the palace. The old minister thought that it must not be opened to the public!"
Shi Pu, Ye Sheng and others also knelt down and must not open the Drum Tower.
Although Zhu Qiyu thought it didn't matter, all the officials in the court knelt down to ask for advice and the Drum Tower could not be opened.
"That's all, let's set it up in Shichahai."
Zhu Qiyu asked: "Ministry of Industry, how is the construction of Shichahai going?"
"Your Majesty, the construction of Shichahai is about to be completed." Shi Pu reported back.
"The night market can be located in Shichahai, and Jishuitan can also be used as the Qinhuai River. Just give me some money." Zhu Qiyuming said, he just wanted money.
Shi Pu rolled his eyes, the last three seas corresponded to the first three seas.
The emperor really wanted money rather than his life.
"Where were you talking about?"
"Oh, there are also a few more cities and towns. The trade routes are blocked and the capital is not prosperous."
"When the refugees and famine are over, the capital will eventually prosper."
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth curled up.
But all the officials were secretly dumbfounded. The emperor was killing the chicken to obtain the egg again.
"Your Majesty."
Shi Pu sighed: "Your Majesty's ideas are all very good, but the city suddenly needs to be rebuilt, and there is insufficient stone and wood. If materials are transported from various places to the capital, there may be delays in transporting grain, and the old minister will also be in trouble. There is no cooking without rice.”
Are you fantasizing in vain?
Zhu Qiyu was unhappy: "How much material does the Ministry of Industry have in stock?"
"Your Majesty, if we only build residential buildings, we can build a lot. If we build palaces, city gates, etc., it may not be enough."
"Then build private houses first, and postpone the construction of palaces later." Zhu Qiyu was very unhappy. The Ministry of Works didn't have any materials in stock. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm so excited for nothing!
"Old minister, thank you for your consideration."
Shi Pu chuckled: "The veteran has a way to build the outer city."
"Say!" Zhu Qiyu replied in a muffled voice.
"The veteran believes that when it comes to wealth, the temples in Beijing are number one. Not only do they have a lot of money and food, they also have a lot of various materials. Moreover, the veteran has observed that all the materials used are of the highest quality. If you dismantle If it is used to build the outer city, a lot of materials can be saved."
hiss!
All the officials in the court took a deep breath.
I thought Zhang Feng was ruthless before, but now I see that the most ruthless person is Shi Pu.
Zhang Feng was greedy for food at most, but Shi Pu directly robbed everyone else's house.
This is a deadly feud.
Zhu Qiyu was stunned. Is Shi Pu really so patriotic?
He was a little unsure of Shi Pu's pulse and looked at Hu Hui.
"Your Majesty, I think it's okay." Hu Hui agreed.
etc!
This is a pit!
It’s not Shi Pu who has a deadly feud, but me!
Shi Pu used the materials from the temple to give to the common people. In addition to satisfying my fantasies, he also gave me a push and pushed me to the opposite side of the monks and Taoists.
This is a cruel move.
Why didn’t I kill Zhou Yingyu before?
Isn't it just to stabilize the hearts of the Heavenly Master?
But once I take over the temple, will the monks and Taoists still support me?
"This matter is subject to discussion." Zhu Qiyu's eyes were not good. Never underestimate any courtier. Anyone might dig a hole for me to jump into.
Seeing that the emperor was deflated, the corners of Hu Hui's mouth turned up.
By killing Wang Zhi, you have also eliminated the civil servants' true attachment to him. Even if he turns into a dog, he may bite his master at any time.
Emperor, you are too cruel in what you do, and you are prone to backlash.
"Organize the refugees to collect stones, wood, etc. first. Cut down the trees in Gyeonggi first. Use the ones that can be used, and burn the firewood that can't be used."
It is extremely difficult to protect water and soil these days.
The discussion lasted for almost an hour. Zhu Qiyu drank a cup of tea. He was not stingy and gave tea to all the officials to moisten their throats.
"Your Majesty."
"Now that the inner palace is empty, the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, and I all need people to serve us."
"The whole country is not stable, so we are temporarily unable to select girls for the talent show."
"But my harem is empty and it is difficult for my heirs to continue. I shouldn't have said these words originally, but through today's court meeting, I will say it directly."
"All officials in the capital who have daughters in the family, who are over thirteen years old and unmarried, will all enter the palace to serve."
"An Xin, I am not a wolf, I just let them enter the palace and be the daughters of the palace."
"If I am pleased with you, it will be her blessing and your family's fortune. If I don't value it, I will release you from the palace when you reach the age of seventeen and get married on your own."
boom!
As soon as Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, the entire Fengtian Palace seemed to explode.
The officials looked at each other, frightened by the emperor's whimsical idea!
Send all the daughters of Beijing officials to the palace.
On the one hand, there is the emperor's selfish heart, which possesses the hearts of beautiful women in the world.
On the other hand, it is the emperor who controls the hearts of the officials.
He wants to hold all officials firmly in his hands!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate and goes against the teachings of our ancestors!" Xue Xuan warned with a trembling voice.
It's not that he is stubborn, but the ministers are forcing him to speak. Who makes you a cabinet minister?
He was an honest man and was forced to speak.
"Are the ancestral precepts mentioned by Mr. Xue Ge the ancestral precepts of Taizu?"
Zhu Qiyu's voice turned cold: "If it is Taizu's ancestral precepts, according to the income of the ministers last night, how many people should be skinned and grassed? Huh?"
"Is it still the ancestral precept of Taizong? Queen Renxiao comes from a distinguished family and is the legitimate daughter of King Xu Da of Zhongshan!"
"Did Taizong establish the ancestral precepts? Or did the late emperor establish it?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Mr. Xue Ge, I think you are old and confused!"
"Get out!"
"Kneel down!"
"Ah?" Xue Xuan's face turned pale, and she quickly got up and knelt outside the door of Fengtian Palace. She didn't dare to speak, and her whole body was still shaking.
After he finished speaking, he regretted it. It was lucky that the emperor didn't operate on him.
He really wanted to leave the whirlpool of the court as soon as possible. If he left late, maybe there would be no one to eat.
"Who else objects?" Zhu Qiyu stared at everyone in the court with a sharp gaze.
Everyone kowtowed and bowed their heads, not even daring to raise their heads.
"Not only the officials in the capital, but all officials in the country are required to send their unmarried daughters to the palace to serve them. When they reach the age, they can be released from the palace and get married on their own."
"This will be custom-made and passed down from generation to generation."
"If someone commits fraud and betroths his daughter to someone in advance, his family will be punished, and the person who promised his daughter will also be punished by his clan. There will be no forgiveness!"
"Officials, whether they are officials or civil servants, any daughters they have, no matter how many, will enter the palace as maids."
"Cabinet, decree."
Zhu Qiyu wanted to recruit all the young daughters of officials from all over the world into the palace.
It's not that he's anxious, he's too exhausted to get so many women.
He wants to hold the hearts of the officials in the world in his hands.
These women are all political resources. If they are used well, the whole country will be under his control.
Of course, who doesn't like beautiful girls? There are a few beauties in common people's families, and there are many beauties in officials' families. They are all summoned to the palace, and it is a pleasure to look at them.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am worried that these girls are spoiled and will not serve Your Majesty." Wang Wen retorted cautiously.
"No one is born to serve others. Send them to me, and I will help train them for a few years. Then they can get a good family when they go out. I am doing it for their own good. The women who serve in the palace will be treated as well when they go out. Superior!"
"By the way, like you, Wang Wen, you don't have a daughter at home, but you definitely have a granddaughter, and your granddaughter will also be in the palace to serve you."
"Xunchen's family is no exception."
"Every family must have a daughter to enter the palace. If the family has no daughters, they are not allowed to serve as officials or officials. They will be dismissed from their official positions. Anyone who commits fraud will be punished by the family."
Zhu Qiyu slapped Wang Wen with his backhand.
You are a disobedient dog, why should I keep you?
Wang Wen's eyes widened and he shot himself in the foot!
Regret it!
He also regretted it. How wonderful it would be if Chen Xun were alive!
At least he won't be burned on his head by the emperor. This is the second fire burned by the emperor when he took back the imperial power!
The emperor was not interested in women, but in the political resources behind these women.
However, there were also some fights in the palace.
Every advantage has a disadvantage.
If these pampered eldest ladies enter the palace and become slaves, they will have to fight and cause a bloody storm. If they give birth to a dragon in the future, they may have their heads chopped off.
The palace will become a big battlefield, full of bloodshed.
The emperor will be worried in the future.
I am afraid that there will be more relatives born, and the era when the generals of the Han Dynasty were in power will appear again in the future.
Why did the Ming Dynasty choose harem concubines among common people? Isn’t it to prevent relatives from taking power?
The current emperor is confident that he can control the world's powerful people, but you will be old one day, and your son will grow up one day. When they are fighting, and your energy is low, you will have a headache, and you will know that you can choose the world. What a mistake it was for the daughter of a hundred officials to enter the palace.
What about the king of future generations? Can they kill to stop killing like you?
In the future, there will inevitably be cases where relatives take power, or even Li Tang's princes rebel in order to seize the throne.
This is the way to bring chaos to the world!
"I have something to say first. From now on, my relatives will not be given titles."
"The title of Ming Dynasty is not that cheap!"
"The former titles of maternal relatives are no longer hereditary as of this generation."
"If you want to earn a World Voucher, go fight on the battlefield."
"I'll give them a chance. If they don't have the ability and are just waiting to die, then just go die. My court will not support idlers or useless people!"
Zhu Qiyu spoke again.
The third fire was burned to the relatives.
But the relatives are not in Beijing, they are all in Xuanzhen.
They are all in decline and can no longer make trouble. The emperor can control them however he wants.
No one will speak for them.
Seeing that Zhu Kai had his arm broken last night and no one mentioned it at all in the court, you can understand Xungui's embarrassment.
The emperor hates nobles and nobles, so it is written on his forehead.
"I remind you again, there must be some people who think they are smart, Li Daitao, Xu, marry their daughter in advance to fool me!"
"Hmph, you dare to do it, I respect you as a man! But if I find out, your whole family will die!"
"Just think about it yourself."
"But it's no big deal to serve in the palace for a few years."
"They serve in the palace, you serve me in the court, and your father, daughter, and brothers are all loyal to me. Why don't I give you glory and wealth?"
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Retreat from the court."
"Tomorrow when the palace gate opens, people will have to register to enter the palace one after another. When ready, wait at the palace gate."
He glanced around, but no one dared to look up.
If you continue to be nagging, I will let your family have a son, castrate him and serve as a eunuch in the palace, hum!
"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"
After going to court, Zhu Qiyu was in high spirits and still not sleepy.
This is the emperor!
It’s so cool, taking control of the world and manipulating power, haha!
This is only the power of the capital, but what about the world? What about the entire continent? What about globally?
Let me eat plain porridge for the rest of my life, and I will be happy.
"Your Majesty, are you unable to control the recruitment of so many people into the palace at once?" Feng Xiao followed the chariot and asked in a low voice.
"Hmph, few courtiers are obedient. I have not set a time limit, so they will delay it as long as they can."
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "If I don't kill people, they won't be afraid, and I won't be in a hurry. When I kill people, it won't be something that a daughter can solve! Humph!"
"By the way, why didn't Zhao Rong go to court?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed coldly.
"For your information, Your Majesty, I suspect that Zhao Rong is in trouble."
"how come?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned, "The left minister of the Ministry of Industry, who dares to kill him?"
"My servant sent eunuchs to inquire. His family members said they didn't see Mr. Zhao come home. His family members were also looking for him, but there was no news." Feng Xiao reported back.
"That's death."
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Who dares to kill a third-grade official? If there was chaos last night, it would be a feast for the officials. Their servants are all smart, and no one dares to kill Zhao Rong."
"Who has the guts to kill Zhao Rong, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
"Factory guards, only factory guards have the courage and ability. But if it was a manslaughter, why wasn't it reported?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned, Shu Liang, or was Jin Zhong lying to him?
It shouldn’t be, don’t they know?
"To report to the Emperor, Eunuch Shu came to report that the arm of Zhu Kai, the second son of Uncle Ning, was touched by Meng Zhou, the reconnaissance captain of Dongchang. He submitted a memorial and asked the Emperor to read it."
Feng Xiao handed it to Zhu Qiyu, who waved his hand and said he wouldn't read it.
"Is this a patrol camp? Send someone to ask Cao Jixiang if anyone killed Zhao Rong?"
Zhu Qiyu does not doubt Shu Liang and Jin Zhong, so it was Cao Jixiang and Lu Zhong who spread the news last night. The murderer must be between these two people!
"My slave obeys the order!"
This matter must be clarified. How could a dignified third-grade official die in vain?
I can kill, but without my decree, who dares to kill? Provoke the court?
Back at Qinzheng Hall, Zhu Qiyu had white porridge first.
"Your Majesty, my servant saw that you were working really hard, so I boiled an egg."
Feng Xiao took out an egg from his arms and knelt on the ground: "My slave boiled two eggs without your permission, and I ate one."
"Where did you get the eggs?" Zhu Qiyu asked him to use one.
"This slave asked Eunuch Shu to bring it back from outside the palace."
After Feng Xiao washed his hands, he carefully peeled it open, ate a small piece, and put it on a plate, waiting for the Holy Emperor to take it.
After a long while, when the eggs were warm, Zhu Qiyu ate them.
Shu Liang brought it back, it's trustworthy.
"If you have a maid in the palace, you can't eat like this."
Zhu Qiyu ate carefully and was reluctant to throw away any scraps. The taste was really good: "Shangshan Bureau needs to be rebuilt. There is no need to recruit too many people. I am not greedy. I just want nutritious food. Let Dr. Tan open some medicated food houses." Just do as the Food Bureau does."
"My slave obeys the order." Feng Xiao knelt down and kowtowed.
After using up the eggs, Zhu Qiyu still had more to say.
"How much did Shu Liang bring in?"
It is really easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
"Only ten."
"I'll use one every day."
A smile appeared on Feng Xiao's face: "Your Majesty, things are different now. You don't need to treat yourself harshly. You are the most noble person in the world and should use the best things. Your Holy Body is the most important thing in the world! "
"Let Dr. Tan make the medicinal diet." Zhu Qiyu nodded, unable to restrain his appetite.
"My slave obeys the order!"
Feng Xiao was very happy.
The eunuchs relied on the emperor. As long as the emperor was alive, they could control the situation.
"By the way, tell Shu Liang and Jin Zhong that the court must provide work in exchange for relief, and some of these refugees must stay in the capital."
"Let them install and bribe a large number of spies to go in."
"I want them to be my eyes and see the city life in the capital!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Tell Shu Liang and Jin Zhong that they don't need to be afraid of spending money. I will also allocate some extra food to them."
"This slave takes the order."
Zhu Qiyu called Dong Ci over: "I plan to set up a royal trading house. You go to Dongchang and Jinyiwei to borrow a group of people and collect all the real estate of all merchants in the capital, including shops, workshops, etc."
"And the stewards of the original shops also changed their names, gathered together, and entered the Royal Trading Company."
"I want the workshop to open as soon as possible and recruit workers..."
Zhu Qiyu expressed his thoughts again.
Dong Ci seemed to understand.
He is not a business person, he is suitable for handling paperwork.
Xu Gan was suitable, but everyone knew that the prisoner could not do without him. They all knew that the prisoner was building an inner prison, managing the treasury and money, and receiving firearms into the palace, so he was too busy to have time.
"Except for the house, I will accept everything else."
"People who are still alive can use it if they can use it, and kill them if they cannot be used.
"Weaving factories, porcelain -making factories, open as soon as possible, and women in the current people enter the factory to work in the factory. Except for eunuchs in the factory, no men are allowed, do you understand?"
"The eunuchs who sent the palace before were used."
Zhu Qiyu taught.
Dong Ge counts a little bit.
Zhu Qiyu is tired.
Sending Dongci, Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Go and ask Shu Liang, do you have a businessman who knows business business, and he enters the palace, can you see if you can use it?"
"Slaves are obedient." Feng Xiaoya sent people to pass the purpose.
"Well, wait for the pillow of the An'an, and squint for a while." Zhu Qiyu slept for a while.
In the afternoon, Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes.
When Feng Xiao heard a noise, she pushed in carefully and knelt on the ground: "Qiyu Emperor, the concubine mother is waiting for you in Dongnunge."
"Um." Zhu Qiyu responded.
Feng Xiao handed a glass of warm water, Zhu Qiyu had a more spiritual spirit: "What are the concubines here?"
"I don't know, but I want to come to the palace with the daughter of the emperor's hundred officials."
Sour is jealous.
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Let's declare it."
Sure enough, Tang Guifei was jealous, but also thinking about his body.
Thinking that the emperor was going to serve the world as a concubine, and worried that the emperor could not bear it.
Also, the emperor recruited thousands of women out of the palace in one breath, and everyone would want to enter the right and wrong.
"I have the heart, but weak."
Zhu Qiyu sighed, how good it would be.
Tang Guifei rolled her eyes: "His Majesty, the Chen concubine has a discounted request."
"explain!"
"His Majesty, please talk about Yunxian as the concubine!" Tang Guifei kneeling on the ground solemnly.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "What did she say to you?"
"It is not what the female doctor said to the courtiers, but Chen Yan was worried about His Majesty's body. His Majesty was healthy.
Tang Guifei turned around and said, for fear that you will be too alcohol, and you will not be able to stand it again.
So I talked about the female doctor and added an insurance.
Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes, is it so anxious?
I think I am very clean.
Tang Guifei rolled her eyes, and a Li Xi'er fascinated you with five fans and three.
Have you ever played early?
Squeak!
But at this moment, the door pushed away, and Feng Xiao hurried in: "Huangye, Princess Shoukang is afraid, it won't work!"
"What?"
Tang Guifei was surprised first: "How did it? The palace went to Shoukang the day before yesterday. Shoukang's body was good.
"Back to the emperor's concubine, the slaves did not know that the eunuchs over there, slaves, slaves ..." Feng Xiao carefully looked at Zhu Qiyu's complexion.
Wang, Wang, has always been the knot of Zhu Qiyu's heart.
But the relationship between father and daughter is still there.
"Can you go?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered. He has been doubting Wang. He is a emperor!
Otherwise, why do you want to love the emperor?
She even broke the back position, and at the expense of her, she was beaten into the cold palace, and she was still related to the Queen Queen of the Emperor of the Emperor.
What is this Wang's?
"Back to the emperor's words, talk about the female doctor, the one, please go there!" Feng Xiao didn't dare to mention Wang's name.
On the one hand, it is Zhu Qiyu, and then taking into account Tang Guifei.
Wang was abolished, and Hangshi entered the reign, but the most favored was Tang Guifei.
Whoever obtained the most interests in this is the most, and Feng Xiao dare not speculate.
