Everyone present could see the meaning of Queen Hu's posthumous title. Forget about 'Zhaoyu', the four words 'Qi Tian Peisheng' clearly emphasized that Queen Hu was the right match.
The word 'Zhen' is even better used. 'Zhen' and 'Zhen' have the same pronunciation.
From now on, every time everyone mentions Queen Hu, they must call her Queen Zhen, so that they can disgust Queen Mother Sun endlessly.
As for why Queen Zhang was not used, Zhu Qiyu also gave an explanation: after the emperor passed to Queen Hu, he would live in Xishan for three years and guard the mausoleum for Queen Hu to show his sincere filial piety.
Three years later, we will consider the matter of joint burial and temple.
Zhu Qiyu had several considerations for doing this: First, he could not do it all at once, leaving Queen Mother Sun with no way out and jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Empress Dowager Sun has been fighting for most of her life, and what she values most is this status. Now that you have decided on the title of Empress Zhang, Empress Dowager Sun must be going crazy. Then there would be no room for change.
Therefore, we must first leave her a thought, and then press forward step by step, closing the net bit by bit, and finally force the emperor to rebel.
Second, we must also give the ruling and opposition parties a process of acceptance. Instead of forcing the civil and military officials to immediately make an either/or choice between Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Hu.
The third and most important point is that Zhu Qiyu felt that according to Empress Hu's own wishes, she might not be so fond of being buried with Xuanzong; nor might she be so happy to be Empress Zhang.
After Queen Hu was deposed, why didn't she become a nun instead of becoming a Taoist nun?
There are obviously more women in the Ming Dynasty royal family who believe in Buddhism, such as the Empress Dowager Sun, the Wang family, the Qian family, and the Zhou family. Especially people like Wang, who have gone too far in respecting the Buddha.
Those who believe in Buddhism and those who believe in Taoism are completely different people. Those who believe in Buddhism like to be splendid and splendid, and compare themselves with others in vain. Those who believe in Taoism generally like to be quiet and tranquil, not to worry about the world, to wander around the mountains and rivers, to express their feelings and enjoy themselves.
Moreover, people who truly believe in Buddhism also believe in cause and effect and reincarnation. Therefore, the Zhou family in history tried their best to prevent the Qian family from being buried together with the Yingzong, causing extremely troublesome troubles.
Zhu Qiyu considered that his family all believed in Taoism and did not like to join in the fun. It can be inferred from this that Queen Hu has a soul in heaven, and she may not be willing to get together with Xuanzong, who has hurt her all her life.
So let’s do this for now. The mausoleum will not be moved, the temple will not be destroyed, and we won’t call her Queen Zhang. Let’s wait until Queen Mother Sun dies to discuss future matters.
Anyway, this ridiculous emperor has already made many innovations, and now one more innovation doesn't matter.
Sure enough, the ministers didn't care. The emperor can do whatever he likes. Anyway, everyone can see that the battle between the two emperors will not end for a while.
Now these are just appetizers. When the Emperor returns to the capital and the Emperor gives birth to his legitimate son, the real drama will begin.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Qiyu ordered Wang Cheng to continue announcing the decree. The second imperial edict was to change Jingtai to the Yuan Dynasty and grant amnesty to the world.
The third imperial edict once again confirmed the status of the King of Dongwu and the King of Xiwu. And officially announced the complete release of Jianwen's old ministers. He rehabilitated Tie Xuan, Huang Guan, Ping An and others, presented officials, granted posthumous titles, and built ancestral halls.
At this point, in the hands of Emperor Jingtai, the feud between Jianwen and Yongle dynasties officially ended.
The fourth imperial edict changed the Nangong to the Crown Prince's Palace and gave it to Zhu Jianshen to live in. The second son of the emperor was named King of De, and the third son of the emperor was named King of Ji.
After the fourth imperial edict was announced, the ministers finally had some reactions. The emperor was willing to treat the emperor's son well and treated the prince with respect and preferential treatment, which the ministers were happy to see.
So everyone finally started shouting "Your Majesty, Holy Ming".
Next, the fifth imperial edict was to increase the salary of hundreds of officials. Based on the salary of hundreds of officials in the 14th year of orthodoxy, it increased by 20% every year in the first five years of Jingtai.
From the sixth to the fifteenth year of Jingtai, the price will increase by 10% every year.
That is to say, by the fifteenth year of Jingtai, the salary of hundreds of officials will be three times that of the fourteenth year of Zhengtai.
Moreover, Zhu Qiyu promised that starting from the first year of Jingtai, all official salaries would be paid in full, and only silver, copper coins and lumi would be issued.
He did not do anything as immoral as Xuanzong, and gave pepper and sappan wood to officials to pay part of their salaries.
He would not be like Zhang Juzheng, who was so immoral and smoky that he would just fold all his salary into pepper and sappan wood and implement the "pepper and sucrose wood discount system". In the end, an official from the Ministry of Rites named Tong Liben was forced to hang himself.
After hearing this imperial edict, all the officials put aside their unhappiness and knelt down together to shout long live the mountain. Baiguan is very open-minded: a fault is a fault, and merit is merit. No matter how ridiculous the emperor's behavior is, he is willing to pay real money to officials. This is very worthy of recognition.
Immediately afterwards, in the sixth imperial edict, Zhu Qiyu announced the order of tax exemption and corvee exemption for the first three years of the Jingtai Dynasty:
In order to enable the people to recuperate and recuperate, the two capitals and fourteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are exempted as follows:
In the first year of Jingtai, Northern Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi were exempted from all taxes and corvee.
In the second year of Jingtai, Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou were exempted from tax corvee.
In the third year of Jingtai's reign, southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Henan, and Jiangxi were exempted from tax corvee.
In the first three years of Jingtai's reign, Jiaozhi was exempted from all tributes.
On the first day of the Jingtai Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu stopped pretending and directly proposed that the Ming Dynasty had two capitals and fourteen provinces.
However, to Zhu Qiyu's surprise, no minister stood up to oppose this proposal.
Since Hu Hui and Yu Qian were completely driven away, no one was willing to argue with the emperor for Xuanzong and Sanyang.
It is a fact that Xuanzong and Sanyang gave up on Jiaozhi. And Jiaozhi is a real Han country. It is written clearly in the books of the Early Han Dynasty and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, and it cannot be denied at all.
The founding of the Ming Dynasty was based on expelling the Tartars and restoring the Han family's clothes and clothes as the source of legitimacy. It was the most righteous Han dynasty after the Han Dynasty.
As a result, one emperor and three traitorous ministers lost an entire province of Han people, and then he said: Just lose it, I don't care.
It’s really funny, this is simply treating running a country as child’s play.
Then the Ming Dynasty's authority and image among the southern vassal states collapsed, and Luchuan rebelled soon after.
The Battle of Luchuan lasted for ten years. In order to support the main force of the Ming army in the battle, the south was exhausted to the point of collapse. There was Miao rebellion and peasant uprising, which were out of control.
Before the army that conquered Luchuan returned, tens of thousands of Beijing elites were transferred to the southeast to quell the peasant uprising.
As a result, the northern troops were empty, which led to the Tumubao Incident.
This is the thunder that Xuanzong and Sanyang laid for Xuanzong's two sons.
Such a weird operation cannot be cleaned no matter what.
This is also the reason why most courtiers still prefer the Supreme Emperor: Xuanzong, the father, is really a scam. The Supreme Emperor is responsible for the series of chaos in the Ming Dynasty, but it is indeed biased to blame him alone.
Even Zhu Qiyu, although on the surface, is mainly suppressing Zhu Qizhen. But from the bottom of my heart, I still despise Xuanzong more.
The Jiaozhi incident can also be explained by Xuanzong's far-sightedness. But supporting Wala to become a powerful person is simply because Xuanzong did not consider his descendants at all and deliberately cheated people.
As for Zhu Qizhen, it’s purely because of the food. But why is Zhu Qizhen such a bad guy? It is purely derived from the blind teachings of Xuanzong and Sun.
Since Zhu Qiyu wanted to set the tone for reform on the first day of the Jingtai Dynasty, there were still many imperial edicts to be announced later.
As a result, there was no time left for the officials to express their opinions. Zhu Qiyu personally read out the seventh imperial edict and promoted officials and nobles to those who had contributed to the defense of the capital.
