Zhu Qiyu helplessly ordered Lin Xiangyu: "Princess, go see them, I don't want to say a word to them.
As soon as I saw Xing'an, I couldn't help but want to order the personal guards to do something. "
Lin Xiangyu had a helpless expression on her face, and replied with a smile: "The slave family also wants to share the worries of the husband, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty has an ancestral system, and the harem cannot interfere in politics.
Jin Ying and Xing'an came as the Director of Ceremony, Zhang Yin and Bing Bi. The Chief of Ceremony's handprint, this is the internal minister, what's the matter with the slave family going to see them?
Husband, you'd better endure it. If you really can't, just send them away with a few words. "
"Hmph, I really don't want to endure it anymore. As an emperor, I have to endure two eunuchs every day. If I didn't want to catch all the eunuchs in the inner court, I would have to kill them now.
But when the time comes to raid the house, it will be very refreshing. If these eunuchs raid the house, they will definitely be unable to stop it for ten million taels. By then we will really become the richest people in Beijing. "
"Can they have so much money?"
"Well, there are too many places for eunuchs in the inner court to get money. And there are many people who have unclear relationships with Shanxi."
Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "Are you not sure about Shanxi? Do you mean they are doing smuggling business with Wala? In the nineteen years since Yu Shanxi was the governor of Shanxi, didn't he manage Shanxi to be impregnable? Where did so much smuggling come from? ?”
"hehe!"
Zhu Qiyu put down these two words, turned around and walked towards the front yard.
When they arrived at the West Flower Hall, they summoned Jin Ying and Xing'an. Zhu Qiyu was leaning on the soft couch, drinking tea leisurely, without looking at the two of them or asking questions.
Jin Ying and Xing'an knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then Xing'an replied: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager ordered the old slave to come to ask for your Majesty's instructions. Now that the war is coming to an end, the capital has finally been saved.
Please ask Your Majesty and Princess to move into Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace as soon as possible. Otherwise, Your Majesty will always live in the palace, even if the foreign vassals see it, it will be very disgraceful.
The Queen Mother also said, please don't be humble anymore, otherwise the Queen Mother will come to invite you personally. "
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to answer this question, but instead told Xing'an: "You can just call me your ministers. I don't like to hear about old slaves, and I don't like to enslave others.
I respect everyone who has contributed to Ming Dynasty. "
Xing'an and Jin Ying had to reluctantly agree.
Zhu Qiyu thought for a moment and then continued his instructions: "From now on, the palace will not accept new eunuchs for the time being, and the palace maids will no longer accept new ones."
"ah?"
Jin Ying and Xing'an raised their heads at the same time and looked at the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu drank tea leisurely and had no intention of explaining anything to the two of them. Jin Ying and Xing'an looked at each other, but still endured their dissatisfaction and accepted the order.
In the imperial city of Beijing, there were 10,34,000 eunuchs and about 3,000 maids. None of these people serve the emperor, no one serves the concubine, and no one serves the princess.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu no longer planned to support so many people, and compressed the eunuchs and maids in the Imperial City of Beijing to the extreme. Some of them that could not be dealt with were diverted to Nanjing and Fengyang.
There are also princes, princes, nobles, and consorts from various families. Although Zhu Qiyu does not want eunuchs, this group of powerful people want them very much. Many powerful people even castrate and purchase eunuchs privately.
As long as Zhu Qiyu is willing to give it away, everyone will be divided in a while. Leaving some people for the Zhou family, leaving some people for the prince and Princess Chongqing, is Zhu Qiyu's last act of kindness. As for the Empress Dowager Sun, the Supreme Emperor, Empress Qian, Concubine Wan Chen, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince, if you don't want to go to Fengyang Palace to enjoy the glory and wealth, then I'm sorry.
There was nothing more to say. Zhu Qiyu held the tea cup and motioned for the two of them to leave.
Jin Ying didn't want to leave yet, so he continued: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of government affairs recently, and there is only Xing'an, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, who can't handle it. I would like to ask your Majesty, can you please let Cheng Jing, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, serve as Bingbi?" Pen, share political affairs with the old slave?"
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, his expression changed and he yelled at Jin Ying: "It's my business to let you write the pen, I don't need you to teach me how to do things.
It's good for you. I haven't spoken yet. You've even decided on the person to write the pen. Are you trying to force me to agree? When the Supreme Emperor was on the throne, did you all do things this way? "
Jin Ying was caught in the wrong place and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed in apology. Jin Ying originally wanted to flatter the new king by recommending Cheng Jing, a close confidant of the new king, to the position, but unexpectedly he was flattered by the horse's hoof.
Zhu Qiyu emphasized to Jin Ying who was kneeling on the ground: "I have already told you that in the future, you will be your vassal in front of me and don't scream like an old slave."
Let me say it again, I am not a mean king, nor do I want to enslave others, let alone you eunuchs with the highest qualifications and prestige. "
This is the advanced thought that Zhu Qiyu learned from the later Qing Dynasty. According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, only the Manchus were qualified to call themselves slaves, and the Han people could only call themselves ministers. If the Han people dared to overstep their bounds and shamelessly call themselves slaves, they would be severely reprimanded by the emperor.
Besides, the two people in front of them do not regard themselves as their new king as their master, and they are not rare to have such unscrupulous slaves.
So Zhu Qiyu called the newly promoted Zhongshushe people Xu Zheng and Huang Jian over and asked them to tell him about the recent memorial.
Jin Ying and Xing'an were left hanging there, in a dilemma. In the end, he had no choice but to kowtow and retreat.
After the two left, Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly, with cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The people present at the Zhongshushe were very happy to see this. After the new king took the throne, he obviously trusted and relied on the civil servants more than the eunuchs. Now the Si Lijian and Dongchang have all been shelved and ignored.
Compared with the Supreme Emperor who trusted Wang Zhen and other eunuchs, the new king was so good that he didn't know where he was. You know, when Wang Zhen was at his most powerful, ministers had to kowtow when they saw Wang Zhen. This was a rule personally made by the Supreme Emperor.
Zhu Qiyu ignored the unhappiness just now and asked Xu Zheng: "Xu Aiqing, what news is there from the Xuanfu?"
Xu Zheng replied: "Your Majesty's edict to make Yu Shangshu the Marquis of Xuanfu has been sent to Xuanfu, but Yu Shangshu has not responded yet.
Alazhiyuan's 30,000 troops completely surrounded Xuanfu and bombarded Xuanfu City every day. Yang Hong did not go out of the city to meet the enemy, but only fought back with artillery on the tower.
Fortunately, there were no casualties on either side, and the war in Xuanfu was at a stalemate. "
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "This Yang Hong, I have already hinted like this, he is just unwilling to live and die with dignity. Okay, didn't Alazhi Yuan capture 10,000 Xuanfu fugitive troops before? We have redeemed all ordinary soldiers Here he is, with more than a dozen generals in his custody.
You write an edict to Alazhiyuan, ordering him to take these dozen generals, except Yang Jun, to the gates of Xuanfu City and hand them over to Yu Qian for public execution in my name. The crime they were convicted of was abandoning the city and losing land, and failing to report what they knew.
It should be specially stated that Qian Qian was executed under the city while holding Shangfang Sword. Including Yang Hong, the guards and civil servants of fifth rank and above in Xuanfu City must go to the top of the city to observe the execution. If one person is missing, they will be punished for resisting the decree and conspiring against him. "
