"Your Majesty, do you really believe in the lieutenant?" Geng Yu said unfailingly.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "Why don't you believe it?"
Geng Yu didn't dare to say any more.
"Say!" Zhu Qiyu's tone was sinister.
Geng Yu knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with him testing the bottom line, so he feigned anger.
However, for him, this is an opportunity to rise to prominence.
"Your Majesty, paper is common in the palace, but it is regarded as a sacred object among the people. Common people have never seen a piece of paper, and it is very rare to have words on it."
Geng Yu gritted his teeth and said: "If your majesty prints a book and puts it in the palace, I am afraid that the people will not be able to read a piece of paper, or even a word!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes darkened.
This is the truth. The history books only saw that the court exploited the people, but did not see that at the bottom, Li Jia exploited the people.
"Your Majesty, the Central Committee has worked hard to achieve great results, publish tens of thousands of books, and distribute them to the people. It is nothing more than to satisfy the gentry such as the village chief and the grain chief!"
Geng Yu took the risk and said: "Your Majesty, you are scrimping on food and clothing in the palace. How much money will you have left when you get to the place?"
Geng Yu completely betrayed his gentry class.
"You are right, this country does not belong to me, but to those gentry!"
Anger appeared in Zhu Qiyu's eyes: "But this gentleman is like a leek. It's useless to cut it. It will grow again in the spring breeze."
"They are also the cornerstone of the country. Without them, the grassroots level will be even more chaotic."
"The court's current taxes must be supported by them."
"I have to endure some things."
He really has no control over the grassroots level.
Emperor Taizong was as powerful as Emperor Taizong, but in the end he ended up miserable, because managing the grassroots level cost too much money and food. He simply turned out to be out of sight and out of mind, and the imperial power did not extend to the county.
"Tell me, what can I do?" Zhu Qiyu could only sulk.
"Your Majesty, I think the situation will remain unchanged for the time being. We will start with Shandong, Xuanzhen, and Hetao to rebuild the Lijia system."
"After a few years, won't it still deteriorate? What's the use?"
Zhu Qiyu asked Geng Yu: "Isn't there an unchanging system in this world?"
"Your Majesty, no, people's minds have changed!"
What a sentence. People's minds change. When will this mind be satisfied?
Geng Yu hesitated to speak, but did not dare to go into details.
"Geng Yu, you are very good. You can continue to compile the disaster relief book. I will think about it slowly."
Geng Yu was extremely excited. After receiving His Majesty's praise, he would definitely not have to go to Jiangxi. If he stayed in the center, he would definitely become His Majesty's favorite.
After he kowtowed respectfully and saluted, he exited the Qinzheng Hall.
Zhu Qiyu looked at his back and murmured to himself: "Look, haven't people's hearts changed?"
"In the past, who would have cared about what I thought?"
"Now, if I want my ministers to become whatever they want, won't they just change?"
"This person can change into various shapes under the influence of external forces."
"People's minds change? I just want them to remain unchanged!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were firm: "Feng Xiao, go and bring the eunuch from the Baochao Department."
He stood up and walked around, used a few pastries, took a nap, and then got up again to review the memorial.
Shen Zhu, the eunuch and eunuch of the Baochao Department, was waiting outside the palace. After getting the message, he cautiously entered the Qinzheng Palace.
Seeing the emperor reviewing the memorial, he knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
Zhu Qiyu exhaled, took a sip of tea, and then stood up: "Coming?"
"Go back to your Majesty, my servant is here." Shen Zhu quickly kowtowed.
"Get up."
Zhu Qiyu was sitting on a couch, lying down. His body was sore and painful. He asked the palace maid to come over and squeeze him to relieve the pain.
"I am here to ask you how to prevent counterfeiting of treasure banknotes?"
Shen Zhu kowtowed respectfully, then stood up, hunched over his waist, and whispered: "Your Majesty, this treasure banknote has five anti-counterfeiting features. Please listen to my servant speak slowly."
"First, use special banknote paper, mulberry paper, which is the best in Sichuan. The paper is thick and rough, making it difficult for the private sector to imitate."
"The second is to add patterns. The Baochao Department has many talented painters. Every time a batch of Baochao is printed, the dragon drawing is used as the base, and a large amount of text is added, making it difficult to copy it completely."
"Third, multiple stamps are used. Once a stamp is issued, there is an extra seal. Those who use treasure banknotes can determine the authenticity by the number and shape of the seals."
"Fourth, the special ink pad made of cinnabar is wear-resistant, acid-resistant, and equipped with fluorescence and magnetism. You can tell the authenticity at a glance."
"Fifth, number them one by one, and each one has well-documented records."
Only then did Zhu Qiyu realize that Baochao had become so developed!
The court will also promulgate severe punishments and laws to prohibit private counterfeiting. For example, those who counterfeit treasure banknotes will be punished and killed.
"I plan to abolish the banknotes and establish a banknote number. Can you make the banknotes anti-counterfeiting?" Zhu Qiyu said directly.
Shen Zhu was stunned and quickly kowtowed: "Back to your lord, silver notes are easier to prevent counterfeiting than treasure notes. If it is a bank note, you can write the verification method on the bank note so that the people can know it at a glance."
"Are you sure of this?" Zhu Qiyu really didn't realize that Shen Zhu was a talent.
"Your Majesty, how many banknotes do you want to issue?" Shen Zhu asked cautiously.
"I plan to create three ticket numbers..." Zhu Qiyu said again, his mouth was dry, and he took a sip of tea.
Shen Zhu chuckled: "Your Majesty, these banknotes are too easy for the Treasure Bank. Give this slave a few months to print out all the banknotes, ensuring that the public cannot decipher the anti-counterfeiting marks!"
"You are quite boastful."
Zhu Qiyu was happy: "Okay, you can make a few pictures first and present them to me for a look. Once they are done, you will have achieved great success!"
"My slave, thank you for your favor!" Shen Zhu kowtowed respectfully.
"Chen Zhu, you have been in Baochao Department for more than ten years, right?"
"Return to your Majesty, it's been twenty-four years." Shen Zhu reported back.
"Then do you know why the treasure banknotes can no longer be issued?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
Shen Zhu raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor.
"To tell the truth, I can't issue it anyway. There's no need to lie to myself. Let me tell you the reason. I still want to issue treasure banknotes in the future. It's time to gain experience!"
Zhu Qiyu added in his mind, but he would not give it to the people of the Ming Dynasty. Instead, he would send it overseas and exchange the treasure banknotes for gold and silver.
"Your Majesty, in the final analysis, there is only one sentence: the court is only responsible for distributing, not receiving!"
Shen Zhuzhao said truthfully: "If the court lacks money, it will issue banknotes, and if it lacks money, it will issue banknotes. This has led to the proliferation of private banknotes, making them increasingly worthless."
To put it bluntly, it is to use finance to harvest people. Without harvesting, they will eventually become waste paper.
"If you are asked to issue banknotes again, can you control it with confidence so that the banknotes can circulate throughout the country?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
But Shen Zhu shook his head: "Your Majesty, I can't issue it. The credibility of the court has collapsed, and the people are no longer willing to believe in the credibility of the treasure banknotes!"
Treasure money is essentially a matter of credibility.
"Chen Zhu, you understand economics."
Zhu Qiyu agreed: "I plan to be a bank accountant. Are you interested in becoming the supervising eunuch of the Ming Dynasty bank account?"
"I'll tell you the truth, if it weren't for the banknotes, the Banknote Department would have been abolished."
"I'm not worried that no one in the palace is watching this ticket number."
"My slave, thank you for your grace."
Shen Zhu said cautiously: "Your Majesty, why did you open this ticket number?"
He is a thoughtful person.
Zhu Qiyu laughed and said: "Of course we will accept cash from all over the world. I force all merchants, palaces, and officials from all over the world to deposit cash into their banknotes."
hiss!
Shen Zhu took a breath of air, it was up to His Majesty to judge the ruthlessness.
If Emperor Taizong was so ruthless, there would be no need to compromise with the civil officials and just forcefully collect money from the rich in the world.
"Your Majesty..."
"You don't have to worry about how to collect it, I only have a way."
Zhu Qiyu interrupted him: "What I do in this bank account is credibility, not to harm the people of the world. If you can save it, you can take it. So I must do it carefully and do it well to re-establish the credibility of the Ming Dynasty."
"The credibility that the royal family has lost over the years must be regained through the ticket number!"
"Chen Zhu, you know economics and you are an old man in the palace. I trust you, so I send you."
"We must do a good job in ticket sales and make it deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!"
When Shen Zhu heard this, she quickly kowtowed and thanked him.
Only then did I understand that the emperor was not taking the world's cash into his official position, but was just forcing banknotes to be issued. He thought very badly of the emperor.
"Select a few people from the Baochao Department who understand economics and management, and go to the Da Ming bank account and show them to me."
"Don't reach out if you shouldn't."
"It's yours, I will give it to you, don't turn a deaf ear to my words."
Zhu Qiyu warned.
"My slave obeys the order." Shen Zhu's heart was heavy, wondering whether it was a blessing or a curse to lose the ticket number.
Send him away.
Zhu Qiyu continued to review the memorial.
"Your Majesty, my father-in-law is here to ask for an audience." Feng Xiao took advantage of the emperor's break to drink water to report.
"Lian Zhong?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Bring me the ink pen. The Director of Ceremonies approved this memorial too lightly. I will write it myself. Let him come in."
He didn't even raise his head, and his writing was erratic.
Lian Zhong came in cautiously and knelt on the ground. After a long time, the emperor's voice came: "What's the matter?"
"Back to your Majesty, the Queen Mother is ill." Lian Zhong couldn't stop crying.
Zhu Qiyu raised his head and glanced at him: "When you are sick, go to Dr. Xuan and get proper treatment."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother misses you." Lian Zhong kowtowed.
Zhu Qiyu put down his pen and glanced at him: "Then I will go over after reading the memorial."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lian Zhong knelt down in a dignified manner.
"How did you learn water control from Xu Youzhen?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"Back to the emperor, Xu Youzhen is very talented. I'm afraid that even if I study for a lifetime, I won't be able to reach his level." Lian Zhong said honestly.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "I have read the book on water control compiled by Xu Youzhen, and it is meaningful. Wei Ji read it and said it is good. Xu Youzhen is indeed a great talent."
"Your Majesty, can you not kill him and let him teach people in the palace to control floods?" Lian Zhong carefully pleaded for Xu Youzhen.
"Is this what you think?" Zhu Qiyu raised his head and glanced at him.
Lian Zhong kowtows desperately: "This is what I want, and it's also Xu Youzhen who begged me and begged me to intercede for him."
He didn't dare lie.
"Xu Youzhen is indeed talented. Pick a few young eunuchs and learn from him. You take them with you. Xu Youzhen is still living in the inner prison. Ask the guarding eunuch not to torture him every day."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "It is against the rules to have a man living in the palace. Let him be castrated and stay in the palace to serve him. Change his original name to Xu Jue."
"My slave, thank you for your kindness!" Lian Zhong did not dare to complain.
Xu Youzhen participated in the rebellion and was able to save her life. It was already a great favor from the emperor. Even if she became a eunuch and stayed in the palace to serve, she would still have a future.
"Let his son Xu Shiliang go and let him study in the Imperial College."
"The three tribes involved have also been released and will remain in the capital. No one is allowed to leave the capital!"
Zhu Qiyu knew that Xu Youzhen had six daughters, all of whom were considered high-married, so it was considered a good thing to force these families to move to Beijing.
"In the future, if an official commits a crime and does something wrong, all the three tribes will move into the capital!"
Zhu Qiyu asked someone to fetch a map of the capital: "Build another city outside Andingmen to accommodate the families of the criminals."
He certainly couldn't let these people live in the inner city. Wouldn't it be a headache if they rebelled?
"My slave obeys the order!" Feng Xiao went to deliver the order.
There are no poor relatives of officials, and it is no different from forcing wealthy households to enter the capital.
Build Anding City first, then sell the land to make money, and exploit the families of these criminals to the end.
After finishing the memorial, the sky turned dark.
Zhu Qiyu took the royal chariot to Xian'an Palace.
"Son, see your mother!" After entering the main hall, Zhu Qiyu bowed and saluted.
"Your Majesty!"
Queen Mother Wu stood up happily, maybe she got up too violently and started coughing, but it looked like she was not faking it.
"Mother, sit down."
Zhu Qiyu came over and let Empress Dowager Wu grab his hand.
Queen Mother Wu looked excited. She had not seen her son for a long time.
"Your Majesty, mother realizes her mistake!"
Queen Mother Wu shed tears: "Mother knows she was wrong, please forgive mother!"
She heard that Princess Gu'an had been dealt with and received a pen from the emperor, which frightened her.
"Where in the world are there any parents who make mistakes? It's all the sons who are unfilial!"
Zhu Qiyu took two steps back and knelt on the ground: "The queen said she was wrong. Could it be that she wanted to trap me into being unfilial?"
"No, no, no, the emperor is the most filial! Mother said the wrong thing!" Queen Mother Wu was so frightened that she wanted to kneel on the ground.
Zhu Qiyu quickly supported her and tilted his head to look at the palace attendants: "Are you all blind? The Queen Mother is sick, why don't you serve her carefully?"
His roar frightened the Empress Dowager Wu.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's my mother who didn't let them serve. I don't blame them." Empress Dowager Wu became more and more afraid of the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu stood up and helped Empress Dowager Wu sit down: "Have you invited the imperial doctor?"
"The imperial doctor took a look and said it was nothing serious." Empress Dowager Wu said sickly.
"It's nothing serious, why do you still get sick? Which imperial doctor saw him? I chopped him up!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes turned cold.
"Your Majesty, it's my mother's heart disease. I can't blame the doctor."
Empress Dowager Wu burst into tears: "After that day, my mother knew she was wrong, but she just couldn't wipe it off her face. During these days, my mother thought about it day and night, without you, the emperor, what's the point of living for my mother?"
Seeing Empress Dowager Wu's soft words, Zhu Qiyu sighed: "It was my son's fault that he neglected his mother."
"How can there be a mother in the world who would bear grudge against her own son?"
Empress Dowager Wu pulled the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, don't be at odds with your mother. My mother is getting older and she just wants to see her children and grandchildren at her knees. She can't stand being left out."
As he spoke, tears could not stop flowing.
Zhu Qiyu helped her wipe her tears.
I also understood her implication.
"Mom, Gu'an is too naughty. I never disciplined her in the past. Now I have hired a master to teach her. It's good to let her suffer some hardships. Mother, don't always spoil her." Zhu Qiyu disagreed.
Empress Dowager Wu quickly put away her tears. If it were her grandson, she would still be able to argue with her son.
But for my granddaughter, forget it, it’s of no use.
"It's fine that the emperor has his own plans, but can you let Gu'an come over from time to time to let mother take a look?" Empress Dowager Wu almost said, when will you have a son? She can also see her grandson. Close your eyes.
"When I have free time after class, I'll ask Gu'an to come over and say hello." Zhu Qiyu pretended not to understand.
Empress Dowager Wu did not dare to say anything further.
"Your Majesty, yesterday the Xiang family came to the palace to meet with the Ai family and said a lot of bad things about the Kong family. What do you think?" Empress Dowager Wu also wanted to worry about the government.
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "I can't control the Kong family."
"I sent people to kill many literati, but the repercussions became more and more violent. It almost caused trouble in the court, and I couldn't get off the stage."
"No one in Gyeonggi Province scolds them anymore, but there are endless ironic articles about the South. I have thought several times out of anger that southern scholars should not be allowed to take the imperial examination, but I finally gave up."
"I can't bear this tone."
"I don't dare to target the Kong family anymore. I even gave the Marquis of Wenchang as compensation to the Kong family."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Just listen to Xiang's complaint. I forced her to marry Yan Shenggong, which has already made the Kong family dissatisfied."
"Fortunately, Mrs. Kong knew how to cover up her ugliness. Scholars all over the world thought that Mrs. Xiang was a young and beautiful woman and didn't think much about it."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I will never have peace."
Zhu Qiyu expressed his helplessness: "If you give me more rewards, I can appease him and it will be over."
"Your Majesty, is it so serious?"
Empress Dowager Wu was surprised: "Since the Kong family is so difficult to deal with, why bother moving? If not just Shandong, why not give it to the Kong family?"
The whole court thought so.
"I want to run Liaodong, and I need money and food from Shandong."
"Moreover, only if the Kong family goes to Liaodong, Ming Dynasty will never lose Liaodong!"
"I have thought about it. I plan to build my mausoleum in Yuerhai, and let future generations guard my mausoleum without taking a step back!"
Zhu Qiyu only has a great cause in his heart. For the great cause, he can even sacrifice himself, let alone others?
Empress Dowager Wu was surprised: "Your Majesty, after a hundred years, if the Ai family wants to see you, will they still go to Yuerhai? Mother won't allow you to go that far. Shoulin has been built!"
"The Ai family is buried next to your father, and you lie next to it. Then our family will be reunited. How wonderful."
As she spoke, Queen Mother Wu shed tears.
Zhu Qiyu laughed dryly, why did he tell her this?
If the late emperor had seen the two brothers biting each other for the throne, I don't know how he would have scolded them.
I also plan to burn it after my death, divide it into five parts, and guard the border of Ming Dynasty.
I'm afraid the world would not allow this. How could an emperor be burned by fire? Doesn’t that mean going to hell?
He doesn't have to care, but he has to consider the prince's filial piety.
"I'm talking nonsense, the Shouling Mausoleum is still under supervision." Zhu Qiyu changed the subject.
Empress Dowager Wu was not easy to fool: "The Ai family heard that the Shouling Mausoleum has been suspended. Do you really want to go that far? Abandon the late emperor and the Ai family!"
"You don't want to see King Mobei, but you also have to look at the Aijia."
"The worst we can do is build King Mobei's mausoleum in Yuerhai. Your father will definitely not want to see him!"
"Even if you don't miss the Aijia, the Aijia still misses you, son!"
Empress Dowager Wu's tears flowed out again, and she hugged Zhu Qiyu and cried bitterly.
Zhu Qiyu couldn't stand this disgusting thing and said with an embarrassed smile: "I listen to my mother. When the internal funds are abundant, I will continue to build the Shouling Mausoleum."
If the emperors of all dynasties had spent the money on building mausoleums on the construction of the Yellow River, the Haiyan River would have been cleared long ago.
However, the entire dynasty was for the emperor's own enjoyment.
"Your Majesty, the Ai family has heard that you are looking for a consort for Changde?" Queen Mother Wu asked.
"I have this idea. It is not the same thing that Changde always lives in the palace. After all, she is my biological sister. If a bad reputation spreads, it will be detrimental to her, and I will not be in trouble."
Zhu Qiyu didn't say that he had killed several princes-in-law and had a bad reputation.
Now the people are not willing to honor the princess.
Even Fang Ying expressed her intention to call off the marriage several times.
Zhu Qiyu pretended to be dumbfounded.
For the sake of my daughter Gu'an, I simply kicked out the imperial sister Changde as a shield, and looked for a consort for Changde. Let the people see, am I a mean and unkind emperor?
"The Ai family doesn't know anything about the previous dynasty. They just know that Changde is restless."
"She comes to the Aijia palace every day to pay her respects and always says some unpleasant things."
"Isn't it just because she is the late emperor's legitimate daughter?"
"When the late emperor was here, the Ai family was angry with her."
"Now that the son of the Ai family has become the emperor, he still has to bear her anger!"
Empress Dowager Wu was full of resentment: "Your Majesty, please tell me, this person is so bad, let's just make her a sister-in-law! The two children will not be sealed, just stay in the capital and let them covet her!"
Changde went to Xian'an Palace and made irresponsible remarks, which Zhu Qiyu knew very well.
It's just a comparison among women.
Is it because of this that I treat the imperial sister poorly?
Will my daughter still get married in the future?
"My mother is the elder, just give her some humility."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I killed Xue Huan and imprisoned Changde. Changde was angry, and she is my royal sister. What can I do?"
"I know she is causing trouble for you, so I thought of sending her out of the palace so that she wouldn't get in your way."
Of course I won't mention those two children.
That is the magic weapon that holds Chang De hostage. How can you just throw it away?
When Empress Dowager Wu saw that her son was not on her side, she immediately said angrily: "It's all because the Ai family failed to live up to expectations, so they gave birth to you. If I gave you several younger brothers and sisters, the Ai family wouldn't have to suffer from her idleness!"
"I will go to Yongshou Palace later and scold her. Mother, please calm down."
Zhu Qiyu stood up: "It's getting dark now. I have something to do in the past, so I won't accompany my mother."
After leaving Xian'an Palace, Feng Xiao asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to Yongshou Palace?"
"Why are you going to the Yongshou Palace in the middle of the night? A son avoids his mother, not to mention me and Changde? If word spreads, will my reputation be lost?"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Let Chang Dexuan go to the Qinzheng Hall tomorrow, and I will just tell her."
There is nothing he can do about this sister.
Chang De was extremely smart. If she didn't directly offend him, she would make trouble in the palace, but no one could do anything to her.
"Go to Chengqian Palace." Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes and thought.
His heart is in Liaodong. Will Karaqin come? Will there be other tribes? What did Mandulu Khan of Tatar have in mind?
After entering the Chengqian Hall, I heard Changde's voice.
She sat on the main seat and pointed at the country: "You can't even control the palace's daughters? If you can't, I will help you take care of them and keep them obedient."
"Don't worry, they are all official ladies. Once you enter this harem, you must abide by the harem rules!"
"I am the emperor's sister and must abide by the rules in the palace, let alone these slaves?"
Changde taught Tang Guifei how to control the palace people.
"That's what the princess said." Tang Guifei looked helpless and had to coax her sister-in-law.
The emperor has said that it is a critical moment for the vassal king to enter the capital. No one in the front palace or the harem should start a fire, especially King Mobei, who must not move.
At this time, a sound of worship came from outside the door.
Zhu Qiyu walked in, and Tang Guifei and Chang De greeted each other.
"Where is Changde?" Zhu Qiyu looked pleasant. Before entering the capital, the vassal king must maintain the appearance of harmony in the Tian family.
"The emperor's brother is here? I am teaching the imperial concubine how to control the palace people. Can you tell me how unruly those palace daughters are?"
Changde said a lot of bad things about the palace people and how to deal with them.
Zhu Qiyu didn't want to hear it: "Sister Huang is tired, go back and rest."
"I haven't finished speaking yet!" Changde was not afraid of the emperor.
Because Empress Dowager Sun said that at the critical moment when the kings entered the capital, the emperor would never dare to show his face.
Sure enough, she had been causing trouble in the palace recently, and the emperor really didn't care about her.
"By the time you finish speaking, I will be almost exhausted."
Zhu Qiyu sat on the main seat: "I am looking for a prince-in-law for you. Once you have chosen one, you will get married."
"I will not marry!"
Chang De pouted and sat down: "Last time you didn't know how to pick someone, so you picked Xue Huan, and ended up participating in the rebellion. You were so late that I lost my husband."
"Now if you want to find someone to throw me out, don't even think about it."
"This palace is my natal family. I can stay here as long as I want!"
When she said this, she was covered in cold sweat.
She is testing the emperor!
Is it true that the emperor did not dare to break the harmonious face as his mother said?
But.
She found that Zhu Qiyu's face was cold.
She was so frightened that she trembled all over and subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground.
But still pretending not to know.
She wanted to see if the emperor could really tolerate her.
"I plan to pick someone out from among the beggars and marry you." Zhu Qiyu said coldly.
"ah?"
Changde was startled and looked at the emperor's face.
She discovered that the queen mother had made a mistake!
The emperor was not afraid that the feudal kings of the world would not enter the capital. He sent two armies to force the feudal kings of the world to enter the capital.
Therefore, there is no need to maintain the harmony of the heavenly family!
The emperor didn't care at all whether the feudal king would rebel!
He doesn't care!
Slowly, she knelt on the ground, her voice trembling: "I, I know I was wrong!"
Zhu Qiyu had a gloomy face and waved his hand to ask all the palace people to leave.
"Did she send you to test me?"
Zhu Qiyu said in a cold tone: "What is she going to do? Will she still help King Mobei rebel?"
Chang De was frightened: "No, no!"
"What are you going to do?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly shouted.
Changde's body kept trembling.
"I have let her go once, twice, and three times. I haven't settled the past debts yet. Does she know why?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were blazing: "Because my thoughts are on the front court and the world! Not a place as big as a palm like the harem!"
"I thought that since she knew her mistake, I would raise her with honor. After all, she is my legitimate mother."
"If you raise it, you will raise it."
"But she's not satisfied yet? Instigating you to cause trouble?"
"What? You think I can't punish her? Don't you dare punish her?"
"If I punish her, she won't be able to bear it!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were serious.
Changde was so frightened that his upper and lower teeth chattered and he kept kowtowing.
"Tell her that I am not afraid of any king in the world."
"If they dare to disobey the imperial edict, I will deprive them of their throne!"
"Wait until they rebel!"
"He is their best example!"
"I can even cook my own uncles, let alone these distant relatives?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp: "The harmony in the palace is not for them to see!"
"It's me, I hope there will be peace in the palace!"
"Only when the heavenly family is in harmony can the previous dynasty be stable."
"If I want to do something, I need stability."
"And you, Changde!"
"When will you grow a brain? You will do whatever she asks you to do? Will you die too if she asks you to die?"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Do you think you can do whatever you want because you are my biological sister?"
"Changde doesn't dare, Changde doesn't dare!" Changde burst into tears and kowtowed.
"If it weren't for my daughter, I would marry you to a beggar and send you to Fengyang. I will never see you again!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious.
Concubine Tang Guifei also knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.
In the Chengqian Hall, only Changde's cries were left.
After a long time, Zhu Qiyu exhaled a breath: "Changde, can you grow your brain?"
"I know my mistake!" Chang De was stunned. He admitted his mistake without hearing anything.
"Get up."
Zhu Qiyu felt compassion and had to use Changde to set an example for Gu'an, so that he could make Gu'an happy in the future.
Chang De sniffed and stood up.
Concubine Tang helped her wipe it.
"No matter what, you are my biological sister, even if you break the bones and connect the tendons."
Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "I will be particularly concerned about choosing a husband. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that he will treat you well for a lifetime."
"If you go first, I will let him bury you and continue to serve you underground."
"As long as you are obedient, I will ensure that your family will be rich and prosperous for generations to come."
Changde was dumbfounded. Is this the soft talker Zhu Qiyu?
"What? You think I can only hurt you? scold you? I don't have you in my heart?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were dark: "No matter what, you are my biological sister, dear! The late Emperor is watching from heaven. You can harm me, but I can't harm you!"
Changde was even more confused.
There seems to be something in these words.
Yes, it’s for King Mobei!
Warn him to be more peaceful and he will be able to enjoy a lifetime of wealth!
If you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about your children.
This is what the emperor means!
Use her words to tell Queen Mother Sun and King Mobei!
"Concubine, thank you for your grace!" Changde knelt on the ground to express that he understood.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips raised: "If you have a sweetheart, tell me directly that I will grant you a marriage. If he dares to treat you badly, I will kill his nine tribes!"
"You are my biological sister, you should enjoy such wealth."
Return a favor in return.
The emperor was promising her long-term wealth in the future.
Chang De's eyes flashed with greed: "Your Majesty, can you knight my son?"
You are so greedy!
"Can!"
Zhu Qiyu: "When he grows up, the title of Marquis of Yangwu will be adopted to his branch."
"Concubine, thank you for your kindness!" Chang De smiled happily.
The political deal was struck.
Changde was responsible for dealing with Empress Dowager Sun and King Mobei so that they would not cause trouble.
Her son will inherit the title of Marquis of Yangwu and retire with the country.
She left Chengqian Palace happily.
"Is Your Majesty too accommodating to the princess?" Tang Guifei secretly applied eye drops.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at her, making her tremble all over.
"The kings in the world are unwilling to come to Beijing. I don't want anyone to rebel. It will not be difficult to pacify it. However, the political impact is too bad. It is better to have a smooth and stable transition."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Besides, Changde is my biological sister. Just accommodate her if you can. We are all one family."
I believe your ghost!
Can a family kill at will?
You let Changde's son inherit the title of Marquis of Yangwu, but you didn't mention giving him a world certificate.
Changde is stupid enough to believe you. Waiting for the kings of the world to come to the capital, it will be the time for Changde to suffer!
Look, the emperor only has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in his heart!
Whoever makes Wanli Jiangshan unhappy, he will make anyone unhappy!
"There is an urgent report from Liaodong. Karaqin is gathering his troops. A storm is coming. Rest in peace. I will be busy in the morning tomorrow."
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to tell her.
Concubine Tang had a flash of worry. If the emperor was so cruel to his sister and daughter, would he be okay with his son?
…
Yongshou Palace.
"Confused!"
Empress Dowager Sun was so perceptive that she immediately realized the problem: "It's just a title, so you just compromise, right?"
"Mother, we are all one family, why do we need to kill you to death!" Changde was bribed by the Marquis and began to speak for Zhu Qiyu.
"Who is his family?"
Queen Mother Sun was furious: "Oh, by the way, you and he are a family! You are siblings! But have you ever thought about it, Zhen'er is still suffering!"
"My daughter has been to Nangong, King Mobei is living a comfortable life, and Princess Qian is also pregnant..."
Snapped!
Before Chang De finished speaking, Queen Mother Sun slapped her in the face: "King Mobei? You changed your title so quickly? He is your biological brother, and he is the emperor!"
"You hit me?"
Chang De touched his face gently and looked at his mother in disbelief: "You hit me just because of a word?"
Queen Mother Sun knew that she had overreacted and wanted to make amends, but she didn't know how to speak.
I could only keep a straight face: "Aijia is your mother, so what if I beat you?"
"He is so cruel and he has never laid a finger on my daughter!"
Chang De was about to cry: "My daughter was raised in the hands of her father, the emperor, and her mother. She has never been angry or suffered since she was a child."
"The only person who makes my daughter suffer is him, your majesty!"
"However, he has never laid a finger on his daughter. He always said that her daughter is his biological sister and he wants her to live happily!"
"You are the mother of your daughter, but what can you give her?"
Chang De tilted his head, looked at her, and showed his cards: "He is the emperor, he is rich all over the world, and Chen Xun, who has no power over the world, was killed by him!"
"What about Yu Qian and Hu Hui? They are being manipulated by him!"
"Go and take a look. The court hall is full of kowtow-headed insects. He will kill whoever he wants. Who dares to say no?"
"What about Li Xian and Lin Cong? Aren't they kicked out of the capital by his decree?"
"Queen Mother, we can't fight him!"
Chang De slowly knelt on the ground: "He killed Xue Huan. My daughter should hate him."
"But my daughter doesn't hate it!"
"Xue Huan raised a child outside, and his daughter came to the palace to cry. Did King Mobei take care of his daughter?"
"He is in trouble, and he thinks of my sister!"
"I will help him. I will risk everything to help him!"
"The results of it?"
"I'm imprisoned in this palace!"
"Do you think he would have kept his daughter if he were not a family?"
"Queen Mother, please wake up. Why do you have to fight with him? He has already let me go and granted my son the position of Marquis."
"If you don't think about your daughter, you should also think about King Mobei!"
"He has been imprisoned in Nangong for eight years, can he still be emperor?"
"He can't defeat His Majesty!"
"He has so many children, and in the future, they will have to point to their biological uncles to divide them among themselves!"
"Choosing a good fiefdom and marrying a good husband are more important than anything else!"
"Mother, don't think about your daughter, think about your grandchildren!"
Changde came over on his knees to grab Empress Dowager Sun's hand.
Queen Mother Sun brushed her hand away and shouted: "Reconciliation? Do you really think he is so kind!"
"It's just that he is worried that all the kings in the world will not be willing to enter the capital. If he forces his way to the capital, the vassal kings will rebel, which will affect his country and the country!"
"That's why we appease our three mothers!"
"When the vassal king of the world enters the capital, he will immediately change his attitude!"
"Yes! I promised your son the Marquis! Is there a world certificate? Has he promised?"
"So what if I promise?"
"If he is granted the title of Marquis, he can take it away if he wants!"
"Who can stop him?"
"If not..."
Queen Mother Sun almost let it slip. If the secret hadn't been there, do you think he would have been friendly with you?
Use your brain!
He doesn't even care about his own daughter, but would he care about you as a sister?
He can even kill his own brother, but does he care about you as a sister?
You have really been spoiled by the Ai family since you were a child, and you don’t even have any brains!
"so what?"
Changde cried: "Can you fight him?"
One sentence left Queen Mother Sun speechless.
"Even if it's all according to what you said."
"When the kings enter the capital, they can manipulate us as they please, so why can't we take a step back?"
"What about reconciling with him?"
"We are all a family, why are we going to fight to the death?"
Chang De burst into tears: "Mother, he is indeed ruthless, but as long as his daughter is alive, he cannot take away the child's marquis."
"If we let this child make progress and protect the country for his uncle, he will be like Song Ying. Why can't he last for a long time?"
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has already given in. Please give in."
"If you give in, King Mobei will give in too."
"This family is harmonious, isn't it?"
Changde kowtowed respectfully: "Mother, you are also a woman. How can a woman survive without a man to rely on in her life?"
"Tell me, if he really chooses a beggar to be his daughter's husband, how will her daughter live?"
Her daughter's cries moved the Queen Mother.
She prefers her son, but her daughter Changde is also the flesh and blood she sheds.
If that loser is willing to reconcile, that's not a bad idea.
Choose a good fiefdom, Zhejiang, yes. Let Zhen'er be the king of Zhejiang, and the two brothers live in the south and the north. Wouldn't it be okay?
From now on, Zhen'er's lineage will be passed down in Zhejiang.
No, there are many sons in the town, and Zhejiang and half of Southern Zhili are not enough. Yes, they are all wealthy places, and the children of the town cannot bear hardships.
Seeing that Queen Mother Sun was a little loose, Changde quickly grabbed her hand: "Queen Mother..."
"Go and tell him that you can make Zhen'er the King of Zhejiang and grant Zhen'er Zhejiang and half of Southern Zhili. The Ai family will forgive him." Empress Dowager Sun thought of good things.
But he didn't see that Chang De's face was stiff.
If you want most of Jiangnan in one go, you might as well welcome Zhu Qizhen to the throne!
Without most of Jiangnan, what can we eat and drink in Beijing?
What else can be transported by water?
Not to mention His Majesty, even if she were the Emperor, she would not agree.
"Why don't you go?" Queen Mother Sun looked at Changde angrily.
"Mother, do you think it's possible?"
"What's impossible?"
Queen Mother Sun said angrily: "Doesn't he want the Tian family to be in harmony? Why can't he even give him a fief?"
"Zhen'er gave him the country and the country! He gave up the throne to him!"
"Aren't you even willing to give me a fief?"
"Then I said I wasn't lying to you!"
Queen Mother Sun was furious.
The dialogue in Yongshou Palace was delivered to Zhu Qiyu.
On the way to court.
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Wanting half of Jiangnan is a wishful thinking."
"Feng Xiao, close the gate of Yongshou Palace and let all the palace people go out. I will go to see her in person after going to court."
Enter the Fengtian Hall and sit on the dragon chair.
Long live the ushering mountain.
"My lords, have you seen Li Xian's secret report?"
Zhu Qiyu is straightforward: "The war is coming, and they all talk about how to support Liaodong when the local stability is stable?"
