The eunuch changed the pot of cold water.
Just after pouring hot water, I stirred it with cold water, and my stomach felt sour and refreshing.
Geng Jiuchou farted and collapsed...
The officials on the left and right all covered their noses.
This is the consequences of offending the emperor!
However, Geng Jiuchou felt miserable. Your Majesty, you are so unreliable. We all agreed, but why would you torment Wei Chen like this? Wei Chen is yours!
Feng Xiao asked the eunuchs to drag Geng Jiuchou away and then put him down. The entire Fengtian Palace would be unable to hold anyone captive. How could he do that if he smoked the emperor?
Gulu!
Looking at Geng Jiuchou being dragged away, Kong Hongxu swallowed his saliva.
Finally, a minister who spoke upright and outspoken helped to plead for mercy, but his mucous membranes were scalded by the hot tea.
You can see the emperor’s heart!
"Do you want some tea?" Zhu Qiyu's cold voice sounded.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
After all, Kong Hongxu was only a ten-year-old child. Although he was violent by nature, he often committed murder and torture at home. There were countless memorials to impeach him.
But he usually bullies ordinary people and kills ordinary people.
He has the title of Yan Shenggong and is the Tu Emperor in Shandong.
However, above the court and in front of the emperor, Yan Shenggong's name is not a protective umbrella, but a sin!
The dignified Duke Yan is a model for scholars in the world, how can he be violent and ignorant?
The Kong family has been multiplying for thousands of years and has tens of thousands of people. The most lacking thing is people. There are countless people from the direct lineage and side branches who want to replace them.
"Are you afraid, or do you despise the tea in the palace?"
Can you get in touch with this?
Kong Hongxu even said he didn’t dare.
"Last year, you burned your mouth while drinking tea and beat a maid to death. Then out of anger, you killed the maid's entire family. Is this true?"
Zhu Qiyu asked him.
Kong Hongxu was trembling all over and did not dare to answer.
"You were only nine years old last year. You killed a whole family just because of a cup of tea. How vicious you are!"
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "Give him a cup of tea."
Kong Hongxu glanced at the hot tea soup, his eyes almost popped out of his head. It was much hotter than the water poured into Geng Jiuchou's stomach!
Pour a cup of tea into it and he will definitely finish playing!
"Your Majesty, the Kong family is willing to move! They are willing to move!" Kong Hongxu kept crying.
"Are you right? There are many elders in your family who find it difficult to leave their homeland. Are you willing to leave?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
Didn't you hear that?
"Although it is difficult for my family to leave their homeland, the whole world obeys His Majesty's orders. When I return home, I am willing to persuade the elders in the family to agree to move." Kong Hongxu was honest.
"But I am forcing you?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"No, no, Your Majesty treated me like the spring breeze blowing on my face, and treated me like my own son. I never had any coercion. It was me who moved to Siping City voluntarily!"
Kong Hongxu also had careful thoughts. The relocation of tens of thousands of people could not be completed overnight.
First bow to the emperor in the court hall.
Go back and find some connections slowly, move there for a year and a half, wait for the emperor to feel better, donate some treasures, and then let it go.
It's better than being poured to death by the emperor with hot tea.
"Yan Shenggong is good at talking."
Zhu Qiyu looked at the officials: "My lords, you all grew up reading the books of sages, do you have any objections?"
this……
All the officials had objections, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Geng Jiuchou was so miserable.
Hu Hui had already thought about it a bit, and the emperor seemed to lift Geng Jiuchou up high and then put it down gently.
In other words, Geng Jiuchou was the emperor's man and acted with the emperor in a play.
Otherwise, according to the emperor's temper, Geng Jiuchou will be cut into pieces.
Yan Shenggong was a model for scholars and an idol in his heart. The emperor did not dare to torture him, so he sent Geng Jiuchou to be tortured instead to scare Kong Hongxu.
After all, Kong Hongxu was young and had never experienced wind and rain.
was deceived by the emperor.
The emperor was more or less defeated.
If Li Xian were in power, the emperor's little thoughts would have been exposed long ago.
Therefore, the emperor first kicked Li Xian out of the court, and then made trouble for the Kong family, just to prevent Kong Hongxu from taking advantage of his father-in-law's power, so that the emperor could manipulate Kong Hongxu at will.
He looked at the court again. It was a bit sad. The familiar old ministers had all been expelled from the court.
The new ministers such as Ye Sheng, Bai Gui, Geng Jiuchou, Zhu Ying, Xiang Zhong, Yuan Jie, and Kou Shen were all capable, but they were not familiar with the emperor, so they could not understand the emperor's thoughts and were fooled by the emperor.
In this round, the emperor won.
"His Majesty!"
Hu Xi stood up and whispered: "I am worried that this move will not stop the world from talking!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly laughed: "Bai Wuyi is a scholar!"
"Don't worry too much, old lady. Beikong's relocation is complicated, and the old lady and the Taibao still need to work together."
"It has to be done properly."
Hu Bi didn't understand why the emperor said that Bai Wuyi was a scholar?
A writer's pen is a murderer's knife.
If you forcefully move to Beikong, you are bound to be counterattacked by the world's literati, and the world's officials are made from the world's literati.
But he didn't know that the literati under the control of the Qing Dynasty flattered the Qing Dynasty every day and completely tore off the fig leaf of benevolence, justice and morality.
Literary men are also human beings, and everyone seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.
But Hu Xi understood it, and the emperor asked him and Yu Qian to do this, nailing them both to the pillar of historical shame.
If you can't reap the benefits, you will have to shoulder the blame.
Emperor, are you still a human being?
"Since all the ministers have no objections, it's settled like this."
Zhu Qiyu sat down and said, "Mr. Yansheng, get up."
Kong Hongxu finally stood up, his knees were numb and it hurt so much.
After giving thanks, stand up.
The eunuch took the hot tea away.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does Duke Yan Sheng know where Siping City is?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
I guess it's somewhere in a remote area of Shandong.
"Get the map!"
Zhu Qiyu drew a circle on the Jurchen territory outside Liaodong.
Ask someone to pass it to Kong Hongxu.
Kong Hongxu's eyes almost popped out when he saw it. Can people live in this bitter cold place?
"Your Majesty, the Kong family can move to Qufu, but they can't go so far!"
Kong Hongxu knelt softly on the ground and cried, "I would like to ask your Majesty, is there anyone alive here?"
"Don't panic, Mr. Yansheng."
"I will send an envoy out of Beijing to discuss with the Jurchens. At the worst, I can spend more money to buy this place."
"Look at this place. It's bordered by the Tatars to the west, the Jurchens to the north, North Korea to the east, and the Ming Dynasty to the south. This is the chosen land!"
"There is no need to worry about Dingkou. I moved 100,000 households from Shandong to this place! I will provide for you!"
"There is no need to worry about safety."
"The Ming Dynasty has an important town in Liaodong. The Jurchens and North Korea surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. The Tatar envoys who came to Beijing before were killed by me. I plan to conquer the Tatars in the north."
"It won't be long before Tatars will be wiped from the face of the earth."
Before the emperor finished speaking, Kong Hongxu almost fainted.
You killed all the Tatar envoys and left us to block the knives?
It seems that the Jurchens and North Korea are not surrendered as you mentioned, right? The Jurchens raid the border every year, do you think I don’t know?
Wouldn't it be cleaner if you just sent us to death? Stop fussing, Your Majesty!
"As for the city, I plan to build a large city to show the power and majesty of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Then I will build four small cities next to Siping City, and Liaodong Town will be stationed here, so I can absolutely rest assured in terms of safety!"
"I plan to recruit another group of talented people from all over the world to serve Saint Kong in Siping City!"
"So, you can absolutely rest assured in terms of safety."
"I would rather lose the city of Beijing than the city of Siping, don't you think so?"
Plop!
Kong Hongxu lay softly on the ground.
You'd better give me a pleasure and let me die immediately!
Don't let me go to Liaodong and suffer!
Is that a relocation? That is sending us to death!
Bullshit, you dare not lose the capital. Your old Zhu family can even arrest the emperor, what else can't you do?
Don’t go!
Even if you beat him to death, he won’t go!
"Just be fine, no need to thank you." Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with Kong Hongxu's attitude.
Kong Hongxu was confused. When did I thank you?
Emperor, you can't be so dishonest!
"I intend to let the glory of Confucius shine in Mobei. As the direct descendant of Confucius, Duke Yan's understanding of the meaning of the scriptures is naturally the best in the world."
"Therefore, I plan to place all the prisoners in Mobei in Siping City!"
"Let them bathe in the glory of Confucius, let them evolve from beasts into adults, and let them also be knowledgeable and sensible!"
puff!
Hu Xi almost spit out a mouthful of old blood!
How dare you think!
Put the captives in Siping City and let the Confucius teach them. If you want to learn how to carry a bird in a cage, ask the Confucius to teach you, and you will be sure that everyone can learn it. If you want to teach the scriptures, Your Majesty, do you think the Confucius can do it?
Also, what if the prisoners rebel in the city?
Siping City was originally the site of the Four Wars, and there were prisoners causing trouble in the city. Ahem, if the Kong family can survive until the Spring Festival next year, it is a good thing.
etc!
With your tricks, can you provide 100,000 households in Beikong?
You won't put all the bandits and bandits in Siping City after you capture the Shandong bandits, right?
Hu Yan swallowed her saliva. In that case, Beikong would be considered awesome if he could see the sun tomorrow!
You are too cruel!
Aren't you afraid that the world's scholars will oppose you?
"I have given Li Xian an order to build Siping City!"
Zhu Qiyu asked someone to help Kong Hongxu up: "If you have any requests, ask me, and I will satisfy them all."
Kong Hongxu now has an idea that he wants to die.
"Your Majesty, can you not go?" Kong Hongxu regretted.
Zhu Qiyu's face darkened: "Am I joking with you? Why am I putting aside all the government affairs in the world to argue with you here? Ah!"
"Do you think I'm a playboy like you?"
"Okay, just don't go, just stay in the capital."
"How many brothers do you have in your family?"
"Tell me!"
Zhu Qiyu immediately became angry.
"Your Majesty, let me go!" Kong Hongxu was so frightened that he was going to kill him and make his brother Yanshenggong instead.
"I heard that Kong Hongtai was respectful and filial, and he had no bad reputation outside. He was different from you." Zhu Qiyu said in a gloomy tone.
"I know I'm wrong!" Kong Hongxu kowtowed, completely ignoring etiquette.
The dignified Duke Yan kept kowtowing.
"Hmph, you don't know what's good and what's good!"
"Just because the censor impeached you, I will punish all nine of your clans!"
"For the sake of your ancestors, I will spare your life!"
"Are you still bargaining with me?"
"I think you and Li Xian's daughter are not suitable. Let's break the engagement."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "I am in the capital and will choose a woman for you to be your legitimate wife!"
Kong Hongxu's face collapsed. His biggest support in Beijing was his father-in-law Li Xian.
But with just one word from the emperor, Li Xian was ordered to cut off from him.
Do you dare not to listen?
"There is a palace maid beside the Queen Mother. She is a female official in the palace. She is stable and has a clean family background. She is also a close confidant of the Queen Mother. I will give it to you to be your legitimate wife."
Zhu Qiyu immediately chose Xiang Sibao!
Xiang Sibao has the best way of torturing children!
Seeing how the prince is being treated, he comes to me every day to complain.
But Xiang Sibao went too far, and Zhu Jianshen was the prince after all. If I did too much, what would the courtiers think of me?
It's different when you go to the Kong family. You can toss whatever you want. Kong Hongxu, Kong Hongtai, and the tens of thousands of people in the Kong family can do whatever you want.
Even if you find a savage and give birth to a savage, I will regard him as Kong Hongxu's legitimate son.
"Xiang Sibao?"
Hu Xi recalled that there was indeed such a female official in the palace, but she seemed to be one year older than the Queen Mother!
Are you turning 40 this year?
Be your first wife to a ten-year-old child?
Thank you for thinking about it!
However, this trick is really awesome. The emperor wants to cheat, but he can't do it blatantly.
First cut off the relationship with Li Xian and cut off the Kong family.
Then he married Kong Hongxu to Kong Hongxu and became his legitimate wife.
This old aunt went to the Kong family to show off her power!
Trouble whoever you want!
Even if Kong Hongtai's father climbed out of the coffin and was younger than Xiang Sibao, he would still have to be worshiped. To make this aunt unhappy would be to bring trouble to the Kong family.
Behind this old aunt are the emperor and the queen mother.
"Still not grateful?" Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" Kong Hongxu burst into tears. The ten-year-old child's mentality was completely shattered.
However, he saw the benefits.
He married Li Xian's daughter in order to gain access to Li Xian's power.
Ruona's legitimate wife was really a caring person to the Queen Mother. If she married him, wouldn't he have contact with the palace?
He had not thought about the age of this palace maid. After all, the Queen Mother often looked for beauties for the emperor and kept a few beautiful ones for the emperor to enjoy. This was what the Queen Mother Zhang did back then.
Therefore, he also thought that she must be a beautiful woman with all kinds of charms.
"Palace Si Bao, marrying you is also considered a first marriage. You should treat her better in the future."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "But don't worry, the wife I have chosen for you will definitely be good and she will definitely satisfy you."
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Kong Hongxu did not dare to say anything.
I'm really scared. He has already changed his wife. If he says the wrong thing again, who knows what methods the emperor will use to torment him.
"It will take some time to build the city and recreate Qufu. After you return home, make good preparations at home. After the city is built, immediately set off for Siping City."
"Qufu will not be demolished. After all, it is the ancestral land of Confucius. I will make the world's literati come here as a pilgrim."
"It is decreed that all scholars in the world must make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land of Confucius every year. Those who do not make the pilgrimage without any reason will be deprived of the qualifications for the imperial examination! If they do not go on the pilgrimage for three years, they will be deprived of the qualifications to read the books of sages!"
Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
hiss!
All the officials took a breath of air. The emperor did not want to kill the Kong family, but wanted to kill the old man Kong Shengren!
When did Mr. Kong Shengren offend you?
"Your Majesty, the world's students are scattered all over the world, and some are a year's journey from Qufu. How can they make pilgrimages every year?" Bai Gui advised.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes turned cold: "Since I have read the books of sages, I want to regard Confucius as my ancestor. How come I can't even endure this little hardship? Then why read the books of sages! Just go back to farming!"
"Your Majesty, it is indeed a long journey, and candidates also need time to study. If you waste all your time on the road, how can you get fame?" Bai Gui argued with the emperor.
"Reading thousands of books is worse than traveling a thousand miles. Walking more is good for reading."
Watching Bai Gui and the emperor singing harmony.
Hu Hui understands, you are blocking the mouth of Youyou in the world!
When Beikong moves and the rebellion fills the sky, you will use this to block the world's literati and writers, and see who dares to make a mistake!
Your method is not good.
Kong Hongxu also understood that the emperor wanted revenge. In revenge for the Kong family helping Chen Xun, they dug up the Yellow River embankment and caused severe flooding in Shandong.
But what could he say? What can you say?
Wouldn't it be better to use your neck to test the sharpness of His Majesty's knife?
"To build Siping City, the court hall is still lacking, so let the scholars from all over the world donate. I decree that all the scholars from all over the world will contribute money to build a new city for Saint Confucius!"
"The cabinet issued a stipulation that all scholars must contribute money."
"After all the money raised was recorded, all was escorted to Liaodong."
"Mr. Yansheng, don't worry. I am rich all over the world. I am just building a city. I don't need the Kong family to spend money."
"Even if the Kong family wants a city made of gold, I can afford it!"
"I would rather let the people of the world starve to death than build a golden city for the Kong family!"
hiss!
The courtier gasped again.
You are so cruel!
It’s okay to build a Siping city without paying a penny from the court. It’s also okay to force the world’s literati to spend money to build the city. You actually put your idea on the Confucius family and let the Confucius spend their own money to build the city!
It’s really yours!
Kong Hongxu was dumbfounded. Hearing this, my family had to spend money to build this dilapidated city?
Is there such an emperor as you?
Are you treating the Kong family as fat sheep? Kill if you want?
"Your Majesty, the Kong family is as clean as water. They only live on their salary. I'm afraid they won't be able to spend money to build a new city!" Kong Hongxu bowed.
"When did I ask the Kong family to spend money?"
"Mr. Yan Shenggong, you can't slander me. What I mean is that even if the people in the world starve to death, I have to build a new city for Yan Shenggong!"
"Liang Lang, write it down according to the original sentence!"
"Li Shi, you will take the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the private sector to collect the money."
"Don't worry about the life and death of the people. All those who have money and food will be collected. If there is really nothing at home, the houses will be demolished and the materials will be transported to Liaodong."
"Another five million people will be recruited as corvees to go to Liaodong. If five million is not enough, ten million people will be recruited."
"It's not a pity that some people will die in building a city for Duke Yansheng!"
"After finishing the campaign in the capital, we will go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then to the southwest."
"Anyway, the people in the world don't know how many people there are. If the people in the world starve to death, they are not worth as much as a dog from Yan Shenggong's family!"
"Remember?"
"Build a gold nest for his dog. If there is no gold, go to the people and send troops to conquer it. If you don't hand over the gold, kill them all!"
"I still don't believe it. I want to fulfill my filial piety for Kong Sheng and build a golden city for Yan Shenggong. I still can't do it?"
"Humph, if I can't do it, my job as emperor will be in vain!"
"You all should stop standing here. Go down and lead your troops to collect money, grain, and gold!"
Zhu Qiyu said lively.
The ministers rolled their eyes wildly, you are so ruthless, you are using all kinds of cruel words to poach the money from Shenggong Yan's family!
You are not trying to build a city for Confucius, but you are trying to make Confucius miserable. Your Majesty, please be a human being!
Sage Kong did not offend you!
In fact, before Jingtai, the court was wary of the Confucius family, and courtiers did not dare to marry the Confucius family. As the wealthy locals in Shandong, the Confucius family's influence was limited to the hearts of the world's literati. What really made the Confucius family move forward was Li Xian.
Li Xian married his daughter to Kong Hongtai, and Kong Hongtai became more influential. The influence of the Kong family spread to the court, and even more so later. The powerful people in the court all married into the Kong family, saying that they could borrow the name of the Kong family. It doesn’t matter if the Kong family took advantage of their influence, anyway, the Kong family has grown and prospered like this.
Only Kong Hongxu looked pale.
He built a new city for the Confucius family, and plundered the people of the world. In the name of being the sage of Confucius, he brought disaster to the world, and the reputation of Duke Yansheng was ruined.
The biggest reliance of the Kong family is the reputation passed down for thousands of years, which is one of the sources of the emperor's legal system.
And as soon as the emperor takes action, he will be crippled.
First, he took away his reputation and listed the Confucius family and all the people in the world as their enemies.
"Your Majesty, please put the common people first, and do not let the people of the world suffer because of the Confucius family. Let the ancestors know that they will scold our unworthy descendants. Please give your Majesty a clear warning!"
Kong Hongxu gritted his teeth and refused to spit out the money.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes turned cold: "But I can't let the descendants of the saint suffer from the cold."
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid of waiting for me!" Kong Hongxu just refused to take the money.
He didn't dare to take it. Once it started, it would be bad in the future.
Depending on the emperor's temperament, the Kong family may have to pay for the construction of his own mausoleum in the future. This emperor can really do anything!
"As expected, he is a descendant of a saint, and he truly cares about all the people in the world."
Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "As the king and father of all people in the world, I thank you on behalf of all people."
Kong Hongxu kept kowtowing, how could he dare to accept the emperor's gratitude?
I was cursing in my heart.
The courtiers also saw that Duke Yan Sheng was actually a miser. The Confucius family had thousands of years of wealth, and building not only one city, but even ten cities in Beijing would only be worth a drop of money.
But this Duke Yan was so pricked.
"Since the Kong family is not afraid of hardship, the relocation date should be set for next month, before the Dragon Boat Festival, and the relocation will be completed completely."
So I was waiting here!
Kong Hongxu's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, it only takes a month and a half until the Dragon Boat Festival. The Kong family has tens of thousands of people, and they have to travel a long distance. How can we finish the move in such a short time?"
"Then pack lightly, move quickly, and wait for you to settle in Siping City before building slowly." Zhu Qiyu said calmly.
Understood!
You want to take away my thousand-year savings of the Kong family!
Just a moment ago, you only wanted a city's wealth, and now you want to swallow it all?
Are you an emperor or a bandit?
"Don't worry, I will send the Beijing camp to guard Qufu. If you need anything, you can come back and get it at any time. I just want you to move to Siping City as soon as possible."
"I won't worry about your family assets. I'm not a robber!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "That's it. I'm going to urge Li Xian to quickly negotiate with the Jurchens, and then recruit civilians to build the city quickly. The central government will urge the literati from all over the world to spend money to build the city."
By the time we get there, the foundation of Siping City may not have been completed yet, and we will really be living in the open!
I agreed to his words. The Kong family is not afraid of hardship, and they really endured hardship this time.
As for the thousand-year wealth of the Kong family, how to take it away?
Kong Hongxu wanted to refuse.
But the emperor's eyes were scary, so he could only express his thanks in a muffled voice.
After leaving the court and slowly thinking of a solution, he no longer believed that money could make all the difference. The Kong family had so much money.
"Send someone back to tell me that you will stay in the capital and get married first. After the marriage is completed, you can go directly to Siping City."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Okay, let's get down."
When he walked out of Fengtian Hall, Kong Hongxu was confused.
See him walking away.
Ye Sheng took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, if you forcefully move to Beikong, I'm afraid it will cause a backlash from the world's literati."
"You are a useless scholar, how can you fight back?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Ye Aiqing, you worry too much. I believe that everyone in the world will be cheered up!"
"I will personally write the newspaper for my residence and send it to the world."
"I believe that when people all over the world see my newspaper, they will all celebrate with their crowns, and then the world's literati will write to me, praising me as a benevolent king through the ages!"
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but laugh.
The courtiers are all confused, what other damaging moves does the emperor have? Say it quickly!
"Your Majesty, the Siping City you chose is too dangerous. I estimate that a hundred thousand troops may be needed to ensure safety."
Hu Xi got to the point.
Yes, you can scare Kong Hongxu, but you can never really kill the Kong family.
It is necessary to build a big city and gather a lot of troops to defend the city.
"Supporting an army of one hundred thousand is a problem."
"Besides the enemy's military peak, there will be fighting at any time. We are worried that our morale will be low."
"When the Jurchens and Tatars attack the city, everything will be terrible."
Yu Qian expressed deep concern: "Your Majesty, why not choose a city in Liaodong, near Shanhaiguan, where you can switch on and off at any time to bring the entire Yanshenggong family back to the pass."
Two important ministers spoke, and all the ministers felt that Siping City was too dangerous and it would be difficult to defend the city.
Nothing should happen to the Kong family.
"I know very well that nothing can happen to the Kong family."
"Everyone in the world is watching. I am just joking with Kong Hongxu and teasing him."
Zhu Qiyu considered it and said: "If Liaodong Town is located here and there is an empty space behind Liaodong, it means that if we set up Siping City, we will have to recruit an additional 100,000 troops to defend the city."
“It does cost a lot of money!”
"But have you ever thought about why I insisted on moving Beikong here?"
"Because the Ming Dynasty cannot lose Liaodong!"
"Moving Beikong here, the court must guard Liaodong. Liaodong must not be lost! Don't dare to lose it!"
"My lords, you all know that the capital of the Ming Dynasty was built between four enemies. In order to defend the city of Beijing, how much money the court spends on border troops every year!"
"The Ming Dynasty could not make ends meet every year because there were so many border troops."
"Nowadays, the military household system is not as good as it used to be, and the Kaizhong Law can no longer be implemented, and the finances are getting more difficult every year."
"The capital of the Ming Dynasty was built here, and the border troops cannot be disbanded!"
"I can only move the border outward, far away from the capital!"
"So, I sent Li Xian to Liaodong just to solve the problem once and for all!"
"Look at the map. If the Jurchens are cut off and North Korea surrenders, then the thousands of miles of fertile land in Liaodong will all be the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
"With no worries about the future, the soldiers in Liaodong can go west and suppress the Tatars."
"Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, and Xuan Town can go north to fight against the Tatars!"
"When I take over Mobei, this capital will be the center of the world, and there will be no need for so many border troops as a financial burden."
"Only can the Ming Dynasty continue to be governed by Zuo!"
"I'm not being alarmist, Zhang Feng, tell me, how much surplus does the household department have every year?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng shook his head. How could there be a surplus? It would be good if he did not lose money.
"Look, if you don't have to bear so many frontier troops, how much surplus will you have?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"As much as ten million taels of silver!" Zhang Fengzhao said truthfully.
Everyone in the court took a breath of air. No wonder the household department had a surplus every year during the reign of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, but it began to suffer losses during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong. Nowadays, the losses are getting worse and worse, and it is difficult to recover.
"Therefore, my move to Beikong is not to trouble people, but to declare to the world and the court's determination to defend Liaodong!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up and said: "In running Liaodong, I plan to conquer North Korea first and seize the Jurchens' escape route, and then slowly soften and Chineseize the Jurchens, so that the Jurchens can be used by me and serve as my guns, pointing at the Tatars."
"Your Majesty, those who are not of my race must have different hearts. We must not strengthen the Jurchens. The Anshi Rebellion is just around the corner."
What Yu Qian meant was that the Han people should be armed with money, but the Jurchens could not be armed with their own money. When the Jurchens became stronger, they would immediately show their fangs and bite the Han people.
"Taobao, when the time comes, I will let you lead the army yourself!"
"I said, I'm not afraid of your superiority, so you can go ahead and do it boldly!"
"When I go to Shandong this time, there is no need to have any taboos. Just do whatever you have to do, and kill anyone who stops you!"
"I will support you!"
"I want to see a prosperous Shandong!"
"Those bandits don't need to be killed all. They are all escorted to Liaodong to build Siping City, and then stay in Siping to enrich the population of Siping."
really!
The emperor used bandits to fill the population of the new city!
The Kong family is also unlucky. There are bandits inside and enemy chiefs outside. The palace still doesn't trust him. If the city is breached, they will be kidnapped by the Jurchens. If they are granted the title of Yan Shenggong by the Jurchens again, they will be granted the title of Duke Yansheng.
Will the person sitting in Fengtian Palace kill everyone with the surname Kong in the world?
It's possible.
"Taobao, we're leaving today!"
Zhu Qiyu kicked Yu Qian away again.
"Wei Chen accepts the order!" Yu Qian was also very depressed. The emperor's moves were one after another, and he was overwhelmed.
As soon as he left the capital, he left the capital, and he happened to hold the regiment camp.
To avoid having it all taken away by the emperor.
In the past, he was too stupid. He wanted to be a saint and was not interested in fighting for power. He just wanted to keep his innocence in this world.
Now, with military power in hand, no one can take it away.
"Retreat from the court, I'll keep it."
After everyone dispersed, Zhu Qiyu walked down from Danbi and said in a low voice: "Taobao, when the Kong family moves out, you will lead troops to protect the Kong family's property, and I will send factory guards to inspect it."
"Your Majesty, will you completely break with the Kong family like this?" Yu Qian frowned, thinking that the emperor's behavior was too dishonest.
Seeing Yu Qian being stupid again.
"Haven't we broken up yet? When the news spreads today, I'm sure many scholars will scold me!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "If I want to take over North Korea and regain Liaodong, I will have to spend money."
"The Kong family has buried thousands of years of wealth in the ground, just to look at it, but it is of no use. If you put it in my hands, I can turn thousands of miles of desolate Liaodong into thousands of miles of fertile land, and make North Korea the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Taibao, I will send you to take command of Liaodong and North Korea after we recover them. At that time, I will give you all the troops in Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, and Xuan Town."
The first time I talked to Yu Qian, I had to promise Yu Qian benefits.
Yu Qian didn't spit.
"After retaking Liaodong, you can become the Duke of the country."
In the past, Yu Qian thought that Xungui was a smelly shithole, but now, he wants to say that it smells really good.
"Jingying, I won't bother you anymore. You can take as much as you want with you." Zhu Qiyu gave in again.
Yu Qian bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Kong family must not die!"
"I know clearly. I was just teasing Kong Hongxu. Didn't you look at me and didn't hit him? If it had been anyone else, the body would have been cold."
Zhu Qiyu understood that the flag of the Kong family was to protect the royal family.
If he really falls, his emperor's legal system will be unstable.
"Siping City must not be breached. Please ask your Majesty to ask Commander-in-Chief Cao Yi to move to Siping City and lead heavy troops to defend Siping City." Yu Qian warned.
"I understand."
Yu Qian knelt on the ground: "Wei Chen will first pacify Shandong. After Shandong is pacified, we will go to Liaodong. Please ask your Majesty to grant Wei Chen the Emperor's Sword and give him the power of expediency."
This is the first time someone has asked Zhu Qiyu for it.
"Gift!"
Zhu Qiyu helped him up and held his hand: "Taobao, I still say the same thing, whoever dares to poke your spine, I will let him die!"
"You are the hero of the Ming Dynasty and my humerus. No matter what rumors you hear, remember one sentence, I believe in you!"
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Yu Qian knelt down and bowed.
On the way back to Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered. Yu Qian was leading the troops outside, and there was no restriction. He had to reassure him.
Previously, all the honorable ministers were sent, and there were many factions in the army, so Yu Qian did not dare to make any mistakes.
This time, many soldiers in the Beijing camp he took away were dissatisfied with me because of the reorganization. What if they were instigated by Yu Qian and rebelled?
"Hua En, who in this world can check and balance the Taibao?" Zhu Qiyu stuck his head out of the window and asked Hua En who was following him.
"Your Majesty."
"Apart from me?"
Wynn said cautiously: "Yu Kang."
If you are discerning, I would like to go with you.
I keep adding titles to Yu Kang, don’t I just want to use him to check and balance Yu Qian?
"Qi Zhuo, you follow the Taibao out of the capital and serve as a supervising eunuch. Then you can choose some reliable ones from the factory guards, Tiqi, and Duzhijian to accompany the army."
As for civil servants.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips curled up: "Let Hu Cui accompany the army, um, let Hu Cui be assigned to the Military Aircraft Department and travel with the Taibao out of the capital."
"Pass the message again and ask Yue Zheng to accompany the army."
Yue Zheng was not qualified in the cabinet, but when he got there, he was a prime minister and an important minister. The eunuch Qi Zhuo was a sedan bearer of the emperor, and Hu Xi was Hu Hui's biological son.
With such a combination, even if Yu Qian really had thoughts that he shouldn't have, he would be relieved.
"Huaien, for the soldiers in the Beijing camp who leave the capital, send all the records to me." Zhu Qiyu also wanted to block the scene of wearing a yellow robe.
"My slave obeys the order."
Entering the Qinzheng Hall, he began to review the piles of memorials.
"Why are there so many today?" Zhu Qiyu felt dizzy.
Since Hu Hui came to power, a large number of memorials have been sent to the palace every day. Although the military aircraft department has been continuously streamlined, more and more memorials are sent to the Qinzheng Palace!
Look at this posture, it's going to tire me out!
"Everything you say back to the Emperor will be sent by the cabinet." Fei Chong said cautiously.
I'm afraid I won't be able to finish the review in ten hours.
"There weren't so many things before!" Zhu Qiyu sat on a chair and opened the sticker to read.
"Back to your Majesty, the cabinet has said that you asked all officials in the world to do more practical things and report everything to the central government in detail, so there were more memorials." Fei Chong reported back.
Shooting yourself in the foot.
"That's all, let's see."
The imperial power is reflected in the memorials. If you don't read the memorials, how can you know the major events in the world?
Control the world by reviewing memorials.
Hu Hui was forcing him to distribute the imperial power to the cabinet.
Otherwise, more and more memorials will be sent to the palace and he will be exhausted sooner or later.
Zhu Qiyu already had a headache. He was reading quickly, and his writing skills were all over the place.
"Xuan Zhangyong is coming over. I have something to ask him."
After reading for a while, he put down the ink pen and looked at Feng Xiao: "Bring the newspaper here, let me take a look."
He plans to file a newspaper!
Hold the power of public opinion in your hands.
In the past, the power of public opinion was in the hands of the world's intellectuals. They could scold anyone they wanted, especially the emperor and courtiers, who were the targets of their criticism.
But those are circulated in small circles, such as poetry gatherings.
He wanted to create a newspaper that everyone in the world could see and understand.
"Your Majesty, there is a secret music from Jin Yiwei." Gu Youzhi carefully placed the secret music on the table.
After being taught a lesson by the emperor yesterday, he calmed down his inappropriate thoughts and served with caution.
Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and Gu Youzhi handed it over.
Expand it and take a look.
After Kong Hongxu came out of the palace, he was good at dancing and visited many people. Then public opinion in Beijing became fermented, and countless literati opposed the relocation of the Kong family.
On the contrary, the Imperial College has calmed down, and the students did not come to kneel down and cry.
However, a group of civilian literati gathered together and prepared to run to Xihua Gate and cry.
"Jin Yiwei did a good job."
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied. He cried twice and caught Zhu Qiyu off guard.
Now, with the two eyes of the factory guard, nothing in the capital can escape his eyes.
Of course the Imperial College students did not dare to come.
During this period, they had one small test every three days and one big test every five days, which drove them crazy.
Reading used to be about cultivating one’s sentiments.
Now I feel like vomiting when I see the sage’s book.
Crying all over the place, they just want to go to the hometown of Confucius and Sheng to cry. Please, when you are old, don’t let the books of sages torment us!
"Jin Zhong has done a good job. Tell Jin Zhong to recruit more women into the Imperial Guard."
Zhu Qiyu suddenly remembered: "By the way, have the prisoners in Xuanzhen been escorted to Beijing?"
Yu Qian captured many family members of Wala dignitaries outside Xuanfu City.
"If we go back to the emperor, we will arrive in the capital soon." Feng Xiao reported back.
"Well, the women all work in the Jiaofang Department, and the men stay in the palace to do coolies."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Let Jin Zhong go to these prisoners, select some smart ones, and train them into Jin Yiwei, who will be of great use in the future."
"My slave obeys the order!" Feng Xiao understood.
The emperor wants to train spies and go deep into Mobei in the future. These people are the eyes.
"Especially those women, they are of great use, don't let them get into trouble." Zhu Qiyu knew that he might have experienced something on the way to Beijing when he was escorted to Beijing.
"The merchants in Shanxi also follow this example."
"Especially those women, tell the escorting officers and soldiers not to move, let alone die."
"Send them all to the factory guard."
Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "The Qinglou is about to open for business, and everything is almost on track."
He wants all the wives and concubines of all the officials in the world to be his spies.
What they said and did was all under his control!
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Jin is still waiting for your reply!" Gu Youzhi asked.
"Go, let the Jinyi Guards move, arrest people one by one according to the situation he has grasped, and ask them why they spurned Saint Kong?"
"Then we'll kill them all, put them in a prison van, and parade them through the streets!"
"Write words that insult Saint Kong on them! The worse, the better."
"Arrange some more people to beat them with rotten cabbage and rotten eggs."
"Tell Chen Xun that after these scum parade around the streets, let the Imperial College supervisors scold them."
"After doing this, order them to commit suicide."
"Write more words on the corpses, and then send their corpses home. The corpses are not allowed to wear clothes, so that their families can take care of themselves."
"Then the Jin Yiwei will arrest people to see who dares to insult Saint Kong and insult Saint Kong. They will follow this procedure."
hiss!
Gu Youzhi took a breath of air, the emperor's heart was so cruel!
However, after this wave of waves, the literati of Gyeonggi really stopped.
"Emperor, Beijing is doing so, what about other provinces?" Gu Youzhi asked carefully.
"Stupid, sprinkle Jin Yiwei out, do every city, kill more people, what do you do?"
Zhu Qiyou yawned: "Then let local officials gather local literati and Mo Ke, write more songs and virtues, all of which are presented."
"As for those who are not obedient, they are sour and stupid, and they are all sent to Siping City, pilgrimage."
"Do you still teach you?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly glanced at the valley.
Gu Youzhi was frightened on the ground: "The slaves understand! The slave understands it!"
"If you understand, go to do it. At the Dragon Boat Festival, the kings of the world enter Beijing. I want to see the articles made by the world's literati, but I don't want to lose face in front of relatives!"
"Tell Jin Zhong, whoever asked me to lose her face, I took his Jin Zhong's head first!"
"Let him take care of it."
"No matter how many scholars in the world are ordered to go to the Holy Land every year. After a few years, my heart is fading."
Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes, a bit lacking.
"The emperor, the slave told Kim Gong, and asked him to ask Nan Kong to present a splendid article!" Gu Youzhi would make a fart.
"Let's do it."
Daming is so kind to the scholars!
Let you speak, it is Fawei!
Since you don't want the power to speak, take it back.
"Feng Xiao, write it down, this year's test theory, use Beidong to move to the argument, I want to see, who is the heart of the scholar!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "If you are in a dead person, let them accompany, there is no value."
That dead man is talking about Confucius.
Feng Xiao is cold.
Today's emperor completely regards the world as his private property, and the people of the world are used as his playwim.
This is the real emperor!
This is the case of Taizu and Taizong!
"Emperor, don't you worry about losing the hearts of the world?" Feng Xiao didn't want to take over, but he was afraid of the emperor's reasoning and asked hard.
"The heart of the world? Whose heart? The heart of the literati? Or the heart of the gentry?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "It's all shit, people's hearts are profitable, who will recognize who the interests will be the master."
"Do you believe it? I announced today that the courtiers must be held by the eunuch. Tomorrow, everyone in the court will cut.
"No one dares to say that you are not, you believe it!"
"They are all captives of power."
"As long as I can give them power, what they will do, what they will do."
"Mo said that killing a few literati, even if the literati worldwide was killed, there would be endless literati. The most important thing in the world is people; the least useful is just a person."
"Otherwise, why do you say that people in the world should read the sages? No one reads before the imperial examination? Do you think that people in the world really love to read so much?"
"It's just to pursue power."
"Okay, let's pass your will."
Zhu Qiyu was disdainful.
He can be stabilized as Taishan in one hand and silver.
If it is gone, his emperor is just a rubber chapter. He has nothing to do with all kinds of hardships, only he knows himself.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhang is here."
Zhang Yong came in and worshiped and saluted.
"Si Li Jian has finished it?" Zhu Qiyu saw that he came so fast, and it was estimated that it was finished.
"Back to the emperor, it's all done."
Zhu Qiyu slightly shocked: "During this time, I had left the Si Li Jian, and your status of your big stubbornness also turned sharply."
"Slave dare not." Zhang Yong hurriedly showed loyalty.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I intend to give the right to the red to Si Li Jian."
"If you're finished, send the chapter over, and after the military aircraft is stamped, you can return it to the cabinet, and then pass the world."
"I have to see it every day."
Zhu Qiyu has to reduce his burden on himself.
After approval, he must be exhausted.
But it is definitely not to divide power to the cabinet.
He asked Si Li Jian and the cabinet to check and balance, and presented the approved chapter to let him read it. After reading, the military aircraft was printed.
It is equivalent to saying that using military aircraft to seize the cabinet and the prison.
These chapters can be seen or not, but the printed power is in his hands.
"The slave followed!" Zhang Yongxi looked out, and the emperor finally opened him.
"Get up."
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "Zhang Yong, I let you make this big cricket, believe you, you can't be attracted by others, and you can come back to stab your knife."
Zhang Yonggang stood up, kneeling on the ground again, and hoeing again and again: "The slaves are definitely dare not, the slaves' life is yours, what you let the slaves do, what the slaves do!"
"stand up."
"I remind you."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Re -pass on the military aircraft, review the good chapters, re -posted yellow, and the number of yellow characters cannot exceed ten words.
This will hardly die.
Many play Zhang Yangyang's words, how to streamline ten words?
Moreover, His Majesty does not like to make mystery. He can't use ancient sarcasm. It is all written in vernacular, which is concentrated into ten words. It is simply difficult.
