cabinet.
"Old lady, you have to take care of me!"
Ni Qian's face was full of bitterness: "This early in the morning, the Jin Yiwei was arresting people from all over the city. How many scholars suffered!"
Hu Hui had a sullen face, he had also heard about it.
As soon as the sun had just risen, the Jin Yiwei went to arrest people from door to door. After interrogation, they killed all the people, wrote obscene words on them with ink, put them in prison cars, and started to parade through the streets.
This morning, seven to eight hundred scholars were arrested.
They are all parading through the streets.
"Does Jin Yiwei have any more royal methods?" Yu Shan was furious.
He was a good official, Zuo Shilang, and after one more step, he would become a heavenly official.
As a result, the emperor kicked him into the cabinet to make way for Bai Gui.
Zhang Feng and Wang Wei also had dissatisfied expressions on their faces. They were all members of the Party. Now was their time of glory, but they were kicked into the cabinet by the emperor.
If it were the original cabinet, it would be fine. With his hands and eyes open to the sky, it would be an honor to be a cabinet minister. However, the current cabinet is completely the emperor's secretarial system.
Those who are ordered around by the emperor are treated with dignity and fear every day. Who knows that one day the emperor will go crazy and take action on them!
As for the vacancies in the Sixth Ministry, I haven’t seen how hard Geng Jiuchou and Bai Gui have worked so hard in the past two days. They are fighting openly and secretly to be the Minister of the Ministry of Households.
"I will enter the palace immediately to seek justice for the world's scholars!" Yu Shan said bitterly, but after waiting for a long time, why didn't anyone stop me?
He walked out of the cabinet door, momentarily embarrassed.
No one really stopped him.
He walked back with a wry smile.
Everyone knows whose orders the Jin Yiwei obeyed and why they were dispatched. To offend His Majesty at this time would be to seek death.
His greatest achievement, Yu Shan, was to agree with Yu Qian and welcome the current emperor.
Let him join the cabinet to occupy a position.
The emperor valued five people: Yu Qian, Wang Wei, Zhang Feng, Yue Zheng, and Ye Sheng. As for him, he was a mascot.
Therefore, when he is angry and jumps around, he just wants the emperor to take a look at him. I, Yu Shan, am also capable.
Hu Hui glanced at him and said helplessly: "I have nothing to do. The move of the Kong family is the decision of the court."
"Besides, Qufu is still a holy land. Your Majesty may have promised that the incense will continue, but it is just a new city built in Siping City, and a hundred thousand troops will be stationed to guard Siping. There will be no worries."
"The emperor can guard the country, but the Kong family can't guard it?"
Yu Shan was even more embarrassed.
Hu Xi took the initiative to help the emperor take the blame, what could he say?
"Old Master, the Jinyiwei have gone too far. They won't arrest all the scholars, right? Even if they are arrested, they will just give them a lesson. How can they strip them naked and parade them through the streets? Where can they put their faces?"
Ni Qian wanted to write from the cabinet and take the opportunity to get promoted.
There were seven cabinet ministers in the cabinet, but one was missing in the previous cabinet. At that time, the emperor really couldn't find any confidants to fill the gap, so he made the most of the mistakes and used six ministers.
Now there is another person missing, but now that the emperor is getting more and more powerful, there is no shortage of people. He just wants to find an old minister who can stand up to Yu Qian and Hu Hui to join the cabinet.
The emperor has probably already started looking for someone.
Ni Qian wanted to join Hu Hui, go from the cabinet to the six ministries, and rise to the top.
After all, there are so many vacancies in the six departments, and the courtiers are all red-eyed and want to squeeze in.
"Do you still have the nerve to live? If it were me, I would kill myself!"
Wang Wei sneered: "Ni Zizi, I advise you not to get involved. Such a big thing is not something that you, a small writer, can get involved in."
"Wang Ge taught me a lesson." Ni Qian looked at Hu Bing cautiously.
"Yes, yes, let's not get involved. Don't get involved." Yu Shan looked embarrassed.
Wang Wei pointed to the chairs: "These chairs are gifts from His Majesty. If you don't know the truth and remove these chairs, we will suffer in the future. Let's take care of ourselves."
Yu Shan saw it, and Wang Wei was afraid and did not dare to go against the emperor.
"I am worried. It is easy to manage the scholars in the capital, but it is difficult to control the scholars in the world." Yu Shan felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Wang Wei glanced at him and said nothing.
If the emperor can do so much in Beijing, has he ever considered going outside Beijing? Just wait and see, all the scholars in the world will suffer!
Yu Qian is about to lead his army out of Beijing, and the cabinet department is working together.
The Sixth Department was only supported by Hu Hui. Shi Pu was still busy repairing the palace city and reorganizing the capital's construction work, and Yu Shiyue was cooperating with Jin Yiwei to arrest people.
The other three ministerial books are still empty.
"Old Master, it's not good, it's not good, those scholars who were parading in the street committed suicide!" Li Shao, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, hurried in.
"What?" Yu Shan was shocked: "Why did you commit suicide?"
"The lower officials don't know, but all those scholars committed suicide. The Jin Yiwei pulled the donkey cart and took the bodies back to their homes."
Li Shao said cautiously: "There is no cover for the donkey cart, and the body is covered with words, all of which are insults to the saints! The ink is clear and the handwriting is large. They are all slang, and everyone can understand it. .”
"I heard that the families of those scholars did not dare to take him in. They said that if they were not their sons, they would be thrown into graves."
hiss!
In the cabinet, everyone gasped at the same time.
The emperor is so cruel!
Seven to eight hundred scholars will be gone if they say so!
Even his family was not allowed to collect the corpse, which shows the anger in the emperor's heart. It is estimated that these families are not well.
"Moreover, the students of the Imperial College blocked the doors of the scholars' homes and insulted their families. There were also some good believers who threw vegetable leaves into their homes, scaring their families so much that they did not dare to go out."
Li Shao smiled bitterly: "Some down-and-out literati, their wives and concubines were dragged out to parade in the streets, and those local gangsters touched their bodies, it was simply unsightly to watch!"
Gulu!
Everyone in the cabinet swallowed their saliva.
A familiar recipe.
It must be His Majesty's handiwork, he is the only one who can use such rogue methods!
This time the Chinese literati in Beijing must have stopped.
Who dares not to stop?
So many people died, and the wives and concubines suffered accordingly. It is estimated that the son's path to the imperial examination was also blocked.
It's all the mouth's fault.
"I heard that Jin Yiwei is still arresting people!"
"Why are you out of breath when you talk!" Yu Shan was furious and glared at Li Shao, as if you were here to see my joke!
"Mr. Yu Ge, you didn't even let me finish my sentence." Li Shao smiled bitterly.
"What else? I said it all at once!" Yu Shan said angrily.
"All the poetry societies in the capital have been investigated. The Jin Yiwei arrested all the people who organized the poetry societies recently."
Upon hearing this, Hu Bi, Wang Wei and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, their sons are all serving as guards in the palace. Fortunately, fortunately, if they were not sent to the palace, those boys would definitely be in trouble with their promiscuous surnames!
"Anyone who was disrespectful to Saint Confucius or made wild remarks at the poetry meeting was arrested!"
Li Shao finished speaking this time.
After hearing this, Yu Shan didn't dare to say a word.
Seven or eight hundred scholars are just an appetizer!
How many people does the emperor want to arrest?
Looking deeper, moving to Beikong shows the emperor's intention to guard Liaodong.
A storm is coming in Liaodong. I am afraid that after Yu Qian has reorganized Shandong, he will lead his troops north to Liaodong.
"Okay, once the Jurchens are taken care of, the troops can be directed at the Tatars. Now the Tatar tribes are fighting each other and do not belong to each other. The grassland has turned into a pool of blood in purgatory."
Wang Wei said excitedly: "It just so happens that Yu Shoufu is organizing troops in Liaodong. Within three years, he will be able to train a strong army."
"When the time comes, we will gallop across the grassland, and the emperor's grace will shine on every inch of the grassland. What a great achievement!"
"What a blessing it is for us!"
He is the main militant, otherwise he would not be Yu Qian's man.
Yu Shan rolled his eyes: "Where does the money come from? Mr. Zhang Ge, you used to be in charge of the Household Department. How much food and money does the Household Department have?"
"The Ministry of Household Affairs has been empty for a long time. The troops sent out this time were all funded by internal funds. During this period, I can't even remember how much money the Ministry of Household Affairs owes Your Majesty." Zhang Feng smiled bitterly.
"Look, if you don't even have money, how can you ride on the grassland?" Yu Shan asked Wang Wei.
Wang Wei asked him back: "Then why did your Majesty forcibly move Beikong? Think about it."
Yu Shan was stunned. What the emperor was worried about was the thousand-year wealth of the Kong family!
Can the Kong family agree to use the Kong family's family assets to fight the Ming Dynasty?
"At the worst, the proceeds from the plunder will be shared among the Kong family. It doesn't matter if you want people or money." Hu Hui said coldly and quietly.
I heard it, and everyone in the court agreed!
Can you disagree?
Beikong moved to Siping City, who dared to lose Siping?
If you want to defend Siping, you have to destroy all the powerful enemies around you and turn Siping into an inland area!
If you don’t believe me, try losing Beikong?
Don't talk about what the world's scholars think, look at the emperor and he can't kill Liaodong until it's a river of blood!
This is a god pit.
The emperor tied Hu Bi and Yu Qian to the Confucius chariot, and then moved the Confucius family, grasping the hearts of the world's scholars, and forcing them to defend Liaodong!
Hu Hui, Yu Qian, the cabinet, the court, and the world's literati, dare not work hard?
"Old Master, aren't you afraid of someone poking your back?" Yu Shan smiled bitterly.
"I'm afraid, but can I retreat?"
Hu Hui also wanted to scold his mother, but the emperor kicked him into the whirlpool without consulting him at all.
Force him to defend Beikong and Liaodong.
Complete the great work in his heart.
The emperor and Emperor Taizong are so similar. Emperor Taizong did not care about anyone for his great cause.
"If I retreat, I will not be stabbed in the spine, but will be rated as the most traitorous minister in history! I will kill everyone in my family!" Hu Hui burst into tears.
The baby feels miserable.
Your Majesty is even more ruthless, using Hu Xiu to check Yu Qian!
Is there such an emperor as you?
What the hell is Hu Wei? Give him the Emperor's Sword, and he dares to poke a hole in the sky!
The emperor just gave it to him, and also gave him the royal flag!
That thing is given easily! These are privileges given to the commander-in-chief, governor-general, and imperial envoys to act expediently!
Yu Qian didn’t even give it to him!
What does the emperor mean by giving it to Hu Xi?
Don't you just tell Hu Xi that if Yu Qian has a disobedient heart, you can kill him directly with the Emperor's Sword!
That stupid kid came back to show off to his father. His father was frightened and wanted to die.
Yu Qian, Yu Taibao, even the emperor is afraid of existence, but he gave you the royal flag and asked you to stab Yu Qian.
You kid, you really dare to stab me!
Yu Kang and Hu Xiu, two stupid young men, together with a eunuch named Qi Zhuo, who was very wilted and rotten, sooner or later, these two boys would join forces to send Yu Qian to hell.
The most clever thing the emperor did was to take Shandong first and practice the skills of the two children to increase their murderous aura. Don't be afraid of killing people.
After arriving in Liaodong, Li Xian and Shang Ren joined forces. Kill them first, and then Yu Qian.
Upgrading also requires a process.
Hu Hui felt bitter in her heart.
The emperor keeps attacking one after another, and he won't let him stop!
In his life, he paid the most attention to health care, eating on time and sleeping on time. During these days, he didn't think about food and food and couldn't sleep at night. His hair used to be white, but now his hair is all white!
As for Beikong, love him until you die, I can't control it.
What a posthumous name? I would be content if I could live until euthanasia.
This emperor is too bad.
"Old Master, you..." Yu Shan was puzzled.
"After discussing the matter, I will return to the official residence."
"Whatever happens outside has nothing to do with us. We can't care about it, and we shouldn't care about it."
"The top priority is to calculate all the money and food for the major event of Taibao leading his troops out of Beijing. This is our task."
"Get busy and stop talking nonsense."
Hu Xi is really tired.
…
Qinzheng Hall.
"What's happening in the cabinet?" Zhu Qiyu asked Xu Gan.
"If I return to the Emperor, the cabinet will be in peace."
Xu Gan presented all the conversations in the cabinet.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth curled up.
Hu Hui is listening to me, but it makes it hard for him to be a father.
"Tell Hu Wei, don't let his father worry. His father is old and it's not easy to run around for the court every day. Let him be considerate of his own father." Zhu Qiyu warned.
"Slave, go now!" Fei Chong bowed.
"Let Fang Ying lead the soldiers and station themselves in the camp of the original Beijing camp."
The Jingying that Yu Qian took away will not come back.
Zhu Qiyu felt much more comfortable looking at the ten-character sticker.
He didn't have time to deal with those trivial matters.
You must also look at what was handled wrongly, call the person who complained about it directly, scold him, and send him back to deal with it again.
"Send Geng Jiuchou here."
Geng Jiuchou returned home and saw many doctors. His stomach was broken and he needed to take medicine to slowly heal it.
After hearing the emperor's announcement that he was here to see him, he entered the palace without stopping.
"It's hard on you."
Zhu Qiyu saw that his face was pale and gave him a seat.
"When working for His Majesty, I dare not complain." Geng Jiuchou was very good at talking.
"You have done a great job in moving to Beikong!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and said: "Kong Hongxu is a descendant of Saint Kong. I don't dare to hit him. I can only kill chickens to scare monkeys, so I use you as a raft."
"After moving to Beikong, Liaodong will definitely not be lost!"
"Geng Jiuchou, I know you are puzzled as to why I care so much about Liaodong."
"Because I had a dream. In the dream, the Jurchens in Liaodong rose to strength, overthrew the Ming Dynasty, and established a new dynasty."
"So, I must hold Liaodong in my hands."
Geng Jiuchou looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, it's just a dream and cannot be taken to be true. Although the Jurchens are powerful, it is because the Ming Dynasty was held hostage by Oara, Tatar, and Uliangha, and they had no time to target him, so the Jurchens were given the opportunity to invade. "
"It will be very easy to hold the Liaodong defense line after Governor Li has finished reorganizing his army."
"So, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Looking at Geng Jiuchou's expression, it is estimated that everyone in the world thinks this way. No one could have imagined that the Jurchens could conquer the world.
Even when the Qing Dynasty first entered the customs, they never thought of becoming the emperor of the Central Plains.
As a result, the world fell into his hands in a daze.
"That's all, there's no need to talk about what has already been done."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Now that the six ministries are empty, I plan to promote you to be the Minister of Hubu, make Xiang Zhong and Lu Yuan the left ministers of the Hubu, and Zhu Ying and Ma Jin be the right ministers of the Hubu."
The wait is here! The wait is finally here!
Geng Jiuchou cooperated with the emperor in acting and currying favor with the emperor, just for the sake of his position as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!
Based on his qualifications, I am afraid it will take ten years before he can grasp the official position of minister.
Just one play and he became the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
This shows the terror of imperial power.
"We must uphold the divine grace and work diligently. Thank you for Your Majesty's grace!" Geng Jiuchou's excitement was palpable.
At the same time, Geng Jiuchou also guessed that since he was the Minister of Household Affairs, the Minister of Rites would be Bai Gui's.
"Bai Gui was appointed as the Minister of Rites, and Song Yan and Xue Xilian were appointed as the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites."
"Liu Guangheng was appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Nian Fu and Cheng Xin were appointed as the right ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"Kou Shen will be the minister of Dali Temple."
Zhu Qiyu was silent for a moment: "The minister of the Ministry of War will be vacant for the time being. Yi Ming will be the left minister and Yu Gang will be the right minister."
"The Ministry of War will bear the heaviest burden from now on. I will consider a few more people to make up for the assistant ministers on the left and right."
But Geng Jiuchou heard that the Ministry of War was like a fragrant bone, waiting for officials to fight for it.
"Geng Jiuchou, are there any members of the Kong family in the court?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
Geng Jiuchou's eyes flashed, he and Beikong had a deadly feud.
"Kong Wenying, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is a member of Beikong's clan, but Your Majesty, Kong Wenying's health has become increasingly deteriorated recently, and I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it for long."
Geng Jiuchou was even more ruthless, picking someone who was about to die.
But he hit it off with the emperor.
"Kong Wenying, Yunwen Yunwu is actually a member of the Kong clan. That's just right. He will be given the title of Prince Shaobao and work in the Military Aircraft Department."
Zhu Qiyu became famous.
You have to give Beikong a good reputation. You have moved people away, and you have gained their wealth. Isn't it right to give them a good reputation?
"Your Majesty is wise!" Geng Jiuchou secretly laughed.
Kong Wenying was a Jinshi in the 19th year of Yongle. Seeing that he was no longer good, giving him a posthumous name had no practical effect anyway and could not block anyone's way.
The emperor would never give real power to the Confucius family. They had a thousand-year reputation. What would they do if they were given real power again?
I have to guard against it.
"Geng Jiuchou, I have given you the title of Minister of Military Aircraft. You can also come to the Military Aircraft Department to work in your spare time." Zhu Qiyu became more and more pleased with it as he looked at it.
Geng Jiuchou's housekeeper had helped him a lot.
Now Geng Jiuchou cooperated with the acting and got Kong Hongxu under control.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Geng Jiuchou said respectfully.
He is different from Li Xian and others. Li Xian and others have seen the most humble side of the emperor, so they don't have much respect for the noble Tianhuang.
But Geng Jiuchou was different. He worked hard for many years before he came to the center. When he saw the emperor, he was sitting on the dragon throne, unattainable, so naturally he did not dare to raise any objection.
"If you go to the Ministry of Finance, you will be my money bag."
"I would like to tell you a few words to train more calculation ministers. This year's imperial examination, I plan to ask more calculation questions. There is a shortage of talents in this field in the court and the palace."
The Imperial College also had calculation subjects, but the proportion of calculation questions in the imperial examination was very low, so not many students in the world studied it.
"I plan to develop the wasteland in the capital. I will take back all the uncultivated and unclaimed land and build an imperial village."
"Unlike the previous Imperial Village, all income goes to the household department."
"It is used to resettle the refugees and attract them to Beijing."
"I also plan to reduce or reduce the husband's service. You have also heard that I have issued an imperial edict to order merchants from all over the world to come to Beijing."
"Promote prosperity in Dingkou, Gyeonggi Province."
"Also, now that the textile factory of the Royal Commercial Bank has been established, I plan to promote mulberry trees in Gyeonggi. However, the mulberry trees take a long time to grow, and households are unwilling to pay for mulberry saplings. After what I said last time, the people in Gyeonggi are not very interested. , leave me here."
"So, I plan to give mulberry saplings to ordinary people. Each family will receive five mulberry saplings. The money will come from my internal funds."
"The common people in the capital will also be given. If they are idle in their courtyards, they will plant more mulberry trees. When the royal merchants come to collect the silk, it will also be a source of income for the common people's families."
“The other thing is to promote fruit tree planting in Gyeonggi.”
"I'll tell you the truth, I love eating fruits, but the price when purchasing them from various places is too high. Nowadays, the palace has a large population, and they all belong to noble sons and noble ladies. They are all growing up, so they should eat some. .”
Ding!
Geng Jiuchou's heart skipped a beat. The emperor wouldn't let each family buy it with their own money, right?
It’s really possible!
"So, I plan to plant fruit trees in the capital. As for the fruits, when they are in season, the palace will spend money to harvest them."
"If there is really no land that can grow fruit, plant jujube trees. I like to eat jujubes and harvest them too."
"Fruit saplings are purchased with internal funds. Each family is given three trees. I can't afford any more."
"Leave it all to the Ministry of Finance."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs has set up an agricultural bureau. From now on, all civil engineering matters will be handed over to the agricultural bureau, so I asked Zhu Ying to be the doctor of the agricultural bureau."
Zhu Qiyu wanted to directly establish the Ministry of Agriculture, but the expenses were too high and it was not conducive to streamlining the department.
"I obey the order."
Geng Jiuchou said worriedly: "But, Your Majesty."
"It takes time for trees to grow, which can range from two to three years to more than ten years."
"Wei Chen is worried that in a few years, the court will have a new policy and will not collect fruits and silk grown by the people. What will the common people do?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "What do you think?"
"Wei Chen thinks that the court should just be a good person and do it to the end, giving mulberry seedlings and silkworm seedlings to the people. The people only put in a small amount of effort. Even if no one collects the silk by then, it won't be a loss."
Geng Jiuchou said: "Furthermore, it will take some time for the mulberry seedlings to grow into mulberry trees, and the central bank's money will be able to be recycled. It is not a one-time expenditure."
"Yes, Geng Jiuchou, you have a good idea!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "You are a good official who thinks about the people. I agree, and I will give you all the Miaoer money!"
"I will ask the Metropolitan Procuratorate and factory guards to cooperate, and I will never let officials from the Ministry of Revenue have their hands on it."
"Saplings must be delivered to every household and allowed to be planted by the people!"
Geng Jiuchou knelt on the ground: "I promise to Your Majesty that every sapling must be in the hands of the people!"
"Okay, I will arrange for people to purchase saplings and plant them when the season is suitable for tree planting."
Zhu Qiyu asked Geng Jiuchou to sit down: "One more thing. Instead of building Siping City, Shandong will have to move people there."
"You can't let people freeze."
"So, I want to plant cotton in the wasteland in Gyeonggi Province."
"When enough cotton is saved, let the Royal Merchant Company make cotton clothes and sell them to the relocated households."
"I've had someone do the calculations. The money earned is enough to make winter clothes for an army of 100,000 people for a year."
"Guarding Liaodong is hard work."
"I plan to give each soldier two sets of cotton-padded clothes."
"I've done the math. I grow the cotton myself and it doesn't cost much. The garment factory belongs to me, so I won't ask the court for the cost."
"Coupled with the money earned from selling cotton-padded clothes, it is enough for the Liaodong army to have two sets of cotton-padded clothes."
"But we can't favor one over the other. I plan to give the border troops and all the soldiers a set of cotton-padded clothes this year!"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "In previous years, the central government had no surplus, and the frontier troops also suffered from the cold. This year is different. I don't need to wear cotton-padded clothes, but the frontier troops must each wear one to live a warm winter!"
"How lucky the world is when the Holy Emperor comes to court!" Geng Jiuchou knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
It was the Holy Emperor who suffered so much for the people who were forcibly relocated. These bandits and bandits had to pay a sum of money for clothing before they were relocated.
"Come on this."
Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up: "I am discussing this with you because the cotton grown in the wasteland of Gyeonggi Province alone is not enough to support the cotton-padded clothes of the frontier army."
"When Shandong is cleared up, I plan to plant cotton in Shandong."
"However, Shandong is a fertile land where cotton is grown. What if the food rations are not enough?"
Food is the most important thing for the people.
Shandong is also a major grain-producing province, and the capital is mostly supported by Lu grain. Therefore, Zhu Qiyu was hesitant about this decision.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Shandong is still mainly about farming. If Lu's grain is safe, then the world will be safe. This cannot be changed easily."
Geng Jiuchou opposed the planting of cotton in Shandong: "Your Majesty wants to regain the Hetao, why not plant cotton in the Hetao?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "The Hetao now is not the Hetao in the time of Taizu and Taizong."
"They've all been harmed by Mobei herdsmen!"
"Yu Taibao said that now even the herdsmen in Mobei are unwilling to graze in the Hetao."
"It's really become a barren land."
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "Besides, the Hetao is my springboard to regain the Western Region, and it must be managed with great pains. I would rather lose money every year and throw money into it than cause any harm."
Geng Jiuchou's eyes suddenly flashed: "Your Majesty, where is Huguang?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up, then dimmed: "If you want to plant in Huguang, you have to clean it up first, but it's already mid-March, and it's time to plant cotton. When Huguang is cleared up, the best sowing date has passed, so why not plant?" What cotton!”
There is no good way to see Geng Jiuchou.
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "You should go back first, and I will think about it again. There should be a way to get the best of both worlds."
Geng Jiuchou bowed and stepped back.
"Wynn, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.
Wynn knelt on the ground: "I dare not say anything."
"Just say it."
"My slave thought that Xifan could be allowed to grow cotton." Wynn opened his mouth and it was a desperate plan.
Zhu Qiyu became interested: "Tell me carefully."
"Your Majesty is going to use troops against the Seven Guards of Kansai. Once your Majesty takes over the Loop, you can reopen the Western Region."
"My servant recently read the records about Hami. Hami is also considered rich. To the west, there are Tumut and Turpan, which are also rich places."
"If our country can send envoys to contact Hami and other Western countries, we will be willing to spend a lot of money to purchase cotton and allow Hami and other places to plant cotton on a large scale."
"Hami is a small country. Once cotton is planted on a large scale in the country, there will inevitably be a food shortage."
"When there is a food shortage in Hami, we will either seek help from the Ming Dynasty or Wala. I think it is more likely that I will seek help from the Ming Dynasty."
"At that time, if the emperor wants to accept Hami into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, or support Hami to become a powerful vassal in the western part of the Ming Dynasty, it will all depend on the emperor's wishes."
Huaien is ruthless enough. When dealing with a small country, he directly resorts to the plan of extermination.
"I never realized before that you are a talent!"
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but laugh: "Not bad, not bad, he deserves to be a man who has studied."
"From now on, you all go to the inner study hall to study and see what good advice Huai En has given me!"
"It's really good."
"Hahaha!"
"Control Hami with food!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed.
Is this a good strategy? This is called a damaging move! How could the Ming Dynasty do such a shameful thing?
Hu Guiju didn't understand. She had been trained by her father and ancestors since she was a child and had read books by sages. Although she was a woman, she also knew that in the glorious China, one should follow the right path.
But the emperor went further and further down the evil path.
He also encouraged the eunuchs in the palace to learn this way.
Are all the books of sages a lie?
"Ms. Hu, do you have a good idea?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Guiju.
Hu Guiju was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the women's temple is not allowed to interfere in politics. The servants have no good ideas."
"Haha, what are you doing about politics? Just talk about it casually."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Huaien's method is really good, but controlling Hami with food cannot be achieved overnight, and Hami is too far from the capital. It is estimated that it will take several months to go back and forth. The cotton they planted this year is expected to be Not on."
"Your Majesty, why not develop Liaodong and let Liaodong grow cotton." Gu Youzhi whispered.
Yes!
How could I forget this huge granary in the Northeast!
The bandits and bandits captured from Shandong are the best labor force. They are used to level the land in Liaodong, fill swamps, and develop wasteland. It doesn't matter if they die from exhaustion.
There are also Jurchen and Korean laborers.
They all have to make good use of it. It's best to exhaust them all to avoid assimilation and worry.
"Well, that's a good idea."
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "As soon as the Taibao leave Beijing, I will ask Fang Ying to take the troops out to see the blood, just in time to clean up the banditry in the capital. The captured bandits and bandits will be sent to Xuanzhen and Liaodong to work as coolies."
This time the bandits in the world will be in trouble, and the emperor will use it to fill the population of Liaodong.
After being praised by the emperor, Gu Youzhi even said he didn't dare.
These days, he was terrified. Looking at Lin Yu, he always felt that Lin Yu would take revenge on him. But after waiting for a few days, the revenge had not yet arrived, and he became even more worried.
"Go and have someone make a map of the Ming Dynasty and hang it in the Qinzheng Hall. It should be large and detailed."
Zhu Qiyu pointed to a wall: "Let me draw pictures on this wall and remove all the obstructions."
"My slave obeys the order!" Gu Youzhi immediately agreed.
…
The next day, morning.
"Your Majesty, yesterday the Jin Yiwei asked the scholars and took them on a parade, which was insulting to the gentlemen. As far as I know, the Jin Yiwei arrested more than 3,000 people in the capital. I would like to ask you to report and deal with the Jin Yiwei!" Han Yong is brave enough. Confronted the emperor early in the morning.
"Han Yong, are you going to Zhejiang or staying in Gyeonggi?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty, please stay in the capital!" Han Yong was not afraid.
"Are those scholars who are disgraced to gentlemen still alive?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
Han Yong was stunned: "Reply to Your Majesty, they are all dead."
"It seems that he has some integrity. To insult Saint Kong, not to mention parading him in a cage, or to put his whole clan in jail is not an exaggeration!"
Zhu Qiyu said loudly: "I think Jinyiwei has done a good job, not only in the capital, but also across the country!"
"Pass the decree, the Jin Yiwei will immediately leave the capital to patrol the world. Anyone who insults Saint Kong will not be spared lightly! It can be carried out in a car and paraded through the streets, or the whole family can be executed. No tolerance will be tolerated!"
In one sentence, the coffin is sealed!
"Your Majesty, are those people insulting Saint Kong? I beg Your Majesty not to be prevaricated by the royal guards. Those people are redressing the grievances of Saint Kong and the Kong family!"
Han Yong said loudly: "Your Majesty forced the Confucius family to move to Siping. The world was boiling and all the ministers were dissatisfied. Therefore, scholars refuted Your Majesty with rhetoric and asked Your Majesty to withdraw your order and resettle the Confucius family according to the ancestral system!"
Here comes another warrior!
A warrior like Geng Jiuchou!
But Geng Jiuchou, because of his outspoken advice, rose through the ranks and became the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Familiar recipe, familiar taste.
"Forcibly relocate the Kong family? Duke Yan Sheng, can I force the family to relocate?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Kong Hongxu.
Kong Hongxu's small body trembled.
Originally, he refused to go to court because he was sick today, but the officials refused and forced him to go to court.
He doesn't want to see the emperor!
The day before yesterday, when he went to court, he discussed with the elders in his family, used money to clear the way, visited many officials in the capital, and went to several poetry gatherings, asking scholars to speak out for Kong, promising benefits and so on.
Unexpectedly, yesterday the Jin Yiwei arrested all the strong men who had spoken out, skinned them, wrote words insulting Confucius, and paraded them through the streets.
They were killed afterwards and the bodies were sent home. No family dared to accept such scoundrels, so they were all dumped in mass graves.
Not only did the Jin Yiwei not allow anyone to collect the corpses, they also ordered those who were studying in the capital to go to the mass graves to view them.
There was a rumbling sound throughout the capital.
For the first time, scholars felt the terror of Jinyiwei. Many people went to the graveyard and took a look and were frightened to death.
And last night, the Jin Yiwei came out of the capital and began to organize the counties in the capital. All the scholars in Shuntian Mansion who were involved in this matter were dead.
Kong Hongxu was heartbroken.
"Hui, Hui, your Majesty, we were not forced to move, but my family voluntarily moved." Kong Hongxu said tremblingly.
"Then why are there so many rumors in Beijing?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"Wei Chen doesn't know that. After Wei Chen went to court, he stayed in the official residence given by His Majesty and stayed behind closed doors. All the old servants at home can testify." Kong Hongxu shivered.
"It seems it has nothing to do with the spin-off?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Mr. Yan Sheng, I ask you, what is your crime for insulting Saint Kong?"
"This...is a great crime of disrespect!" Kong Hongxu answered carefully.
"Should the nine tribes be killed?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were like daggers.
Isn't it enough that you killed the person who spoke?
Want to kill the whole family?
But those idle scholars, even if they are not the powerful people in the capital, are still relatives of the powerful people. In this place in the capital, there is no one who has three relatives.
If the Nine Clans are killed...
Kong Hongxu glanced at the court hall. All civil and military officials in the court must die!
is it possible?
Who died?
I am Yanshenggong!
What a poisonous emperor!
"Your Majesty, please forgive those ignorant fools. If they are guilty, I am willing to bear them all. If Your Majesty wants to kill them, I will kill them." Kong Hongxu said in tears.
"Mr. Yansheng, can I kill you? Do I dare to kill you?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled strangely: "I just issued an imperial edict, asking the Kong family to move to Siping City, and even sent a hundred thousand troops to guard Siping City, but the literati all over the world called me a dog!"
"I see, this world does not belong to the old Zhu family, but to the old Kong family."
"As the emperor, I might as well abdicate in favor of someone more worthy."
Bang bang bang!
Kong Hongxu kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic: "The Kong family definitely has no intention of arrogance. I beg your majesty to forgive me!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up: "Come, sit here, I will kneel down."
Kong Hongxu was so frightened that he fainted.
He glanced at Jin Zhu, would it hurt if he hit it?
It would be quite happy if he could be killed in one hit.
Hu Hu rolled his eyes, why are you trying to scare a child like that? Even I can't withstand your move, but Kong Hongxu can handle it?
If you really kill this child in Fengtian Temple, how will you end it?
"Ahem!"
Seeing Kong Hongxu aiming at the golden pillar, Hu Bi knew that this boy was going to hit him, so he coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Duke Yansheng has no intention of overstepping his bounds. Please take back your words."
"Yes, yes, Tianguan is right!" Kong Hongxu cried.
"It's best if you don't have any arrogance."
Hu Xi handed him the steps, and Zhu Qiyu came down: "Then tell me, how to deal with these scholars?"
Even Yu Qian couldn't stand his move, let alone a child?
"Your Majesty, aren't everyone dead?" Kong Hongxu was surprised.
"How did you know you were dead? Aren't you staying behind closed doors?" Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold.
It’s over!
Hit the muzzle again!
Even Hu Hu can't save this idiot, so you should go home and kill the people. With your intelligence, you can only bully the people. Don't embarrass yourself in court!
Li Xian is also stupid, why did he choose such a son-in-law?
Moreover, the previous generation Yanshenggong, Kong Yanjin, was so shrewd that he went through five dynasties and was favored by the emperors of the five dynasties.
Kong Yanjin lost his son in his early years. In the sixth year of Jingtai, his grandson Kong Hongxu had to bear the burden.
Kong Yanjin was so powerful, but he didn’t teach his grandson.
It's a pity. If Kong Yanjin was still alive, His Majesty might still value him and put him to good use.
"Qi, Qi, Your Majesty, I only heard what others said!"
Once Kong Hongxu told a lie, he would tell countless lies to make up for the first lie.
"Who told you? Who told you about the outside world?" Zhu Qiyu said in a sinister tone.
Kong Hongxu jumped all over, knowing that he had said the wrong thing.
If my grandfather were still here, Your Majesty would definitely give him three points. It was just bullying him for being too young.
He wanted to cry but could only endure it.
"There is no such person, it's just the humble minister who is talking nonsense!" Kong Hongxu made another mistake.
It would be better for him to simply sell someone from the Kong family than to be inconsistent.
"I think you are talking nonsense!"
"What do you think of Fengtian Palace?"
"When Kong Yanjin was here, he had to walk on thin ice in front of me, and he didn't dare to say a word wrong!"
"It's better for you. Just because you're young, you can just say it's wrong if you want to. Then tell me afterwards that I'm just teasing you, and that's it?"
Suddenly, Zhu Qiyu's voice rose: "Can't I punish you?"
"Come here, arrest all the people around Kong Hongxu and give them thirty lashes, whether they live or die!"
"All the servants serving Kong Hongxu will be executed!"
"Kong Hongxu, I will teach you to be good again."
"In this capital, who do I want to know? Who can know what! What I don't allow others to know, asking around is a sin!"
Kong Hongxu was so frightened that he kept kowtowing, and heat flowed out from between his buttocks...
Hu Xi coughed again.
That's almost it. Don't go too far and scare Yan Shenggong to death. That would be a bad choice.
"Take it down and change your clothes."
"Dignified Duke Yan, he didn't learn from the good ones, but learned from the bad habits of Qiang Gen."
"It seems that I have to find a master for you and learn the etiquette well."
Zhu Qiyu gave Kong Hongxu another blow.
This is to teach him a lesson, and he was contacted everywhere the day before yesterday.
He thought that what he did was airtight, but in fact everything he did was under the eyes of the factory guards.
Even if he farts, I know when and when he farts.
In addition, all the officials who accepted his gifts were imprisoned. Anyone who dared not to be imprisoned would have already gone to Xuanzang with his whole family.
I thought I was pretty smart!
When your grandfather Kong Yanjin was alive, he didn't dare to play tricks under the emperor's nose. You little brat, how dare you?
Soon, Kong Hongxu entered the hall, his face was pale and pale, and he knelt on the ground.
"Go on, what should those scholars do?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"Whatever His Majesty says should be done, we will do it. I don't dare to have objections!" Kong Hongxu followed suit.
"I'm asking you. I don't have time to talk about cars and wheels with you."
Kong Hongxu's face turned even paler, and the emperor forced him to make a cut with the world's scholars.
After he said this, Kong Sheng could only be an idol and existed in history, and the Kong family could no longer join the world.
After losing the hearts of the scholars in the world, the Kong family left a beautiful skin, and nothing else was.
After all, Kong Hongxu betrayed the scholars of the world himself. The scholars of the world did not spray him into a dog.
This is the purpose of the emperor!
He didn't give the emperor a satisfactory answer, he had to consume it.
"His Majesty, Weichen asked Her Majesty to claim his family!" Kong Hongxu closed his eyes desperately.
"Yan Shenggong is ruthless."
"But if a person makes a mistake, he kills the whole family, which is too cruel."
"My Daming is still emotional."
Zhu Qiyu said faintly: "Let these scholars have not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations in ten years, and discuss it ten years later."
puff!
You are really cruel!
It is better to kill the light directly, at least you can scold a few words.
You are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations directly, which is equivalent to breaking the future of others!
Moreover, you put Kong Hongxu in!
Kong Hongxu requested the Xun tribe, and you opened it on the Internet and let Kong Hongxu be this wicked!
After this incident, I am afraid that no one would dare to be wronged for the Kong family.
After all, Kong Hongxu was too tender, and was played by the emperor in the palm of his hand.
If he changed to his grandfather Kong Yannao, he should not change the emperor, and naturally counter the emperor.
The so -called thirty whip, do it, can you kill?
Undead, what are you afraid of?
The emperor was bullying Kong Hongxu's age, and the peritative family Yan Shenggong was him. If he changed his person, the emperor would be controlled.
"Okay, this is the case."
"Hangjuro, all have you written? Well, send the dialogue on the court, send the duty newspaper, and send it out."
Zhu Qiyu retired from Kong Hongxu: "Yan Shenggong is also tired, let's go down first."
Kong Hongxu obediently scratched his head and cried and left Fengtian Temple.
The thousand -year reputation of the Kong family was destroyed!
It's better to kill him with a ruthless heart.
At least the Kong family is still there.
