Qianxue asked curiously: "Is Fengyang Palace very big?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded affirmatively: "Well, Fengyang Palace is bigger than the palaces in Nanjing and Beijing. But I have never been there. It has been idle for so many years. I don't know what the current situation of Fengyang Palace is like.
But as long as the Supreme Emperor and his family are willing to go, I am willing to pay for them to renovate it and ensure that they can live comfortably.
Moreover, Fengyang and Nanjing are so close. If I were the Supreme Emperor, I would definitely choose to go to Fengyang to hide and wait. Maybe when the world changes, we can go to Nanjing and make a comeback.
If I stay in Beijing, I have all the troops in my hands. Apart from poisoning me, there is no other way to turn things around. "
Upon hearing this, Qianxue asked again: "Husband, have you never thought of learning from Xuanzong?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head firmly: "I look down on people who don't learn. In fact, looking at the problem from the emperor's point of view, directly killing the whole family of the King of Han is also a quick way to cut through the mess.
However, I am still more willing to imitate Emperor Xiaowen and pretend to be a bit hypocritical, but at least he has a warm and affectionate look.
Call Ruan Lang, Ruan Rang, Ruan Xi, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, Hao Yi, and Wang Qin tomorrow. I have to give them personal instructions.
Otherwise, their understanding of my thoughts will be wrong, and if they cause trouble, it will cause trouble for our family. "
After talking about business, Zhu Qiyu enjoyed the service of the best beauty.
Zhu Qiyu lay still while thinking about the affairs of the harem: Why were the emperors of the Ming Dynasty always fed medicine, but the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were fine?
Whether it was drugging the Ming Emperor or the Qing Emperor, there was actually not much difficulty.
The difference lies in the aftermath. After the Emperor of Ming was given the medicine, the Queen Mother or the Empress and the cabinet came together and reached a consensus, and the matter was over.
But if the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is given the medicine, and the queen mother or empress does not approve of it afterwards, then the next step is for the Nine Clans to eliminate Xiaole.
So the problem still lies with women.
Empress Taizu Gao and Empress Taizong Wen were from noble families, so they were much more reliable in their work.
In the future, once the queen is no longer of noble birth, all kinds of absurdities will begin.
Especially Xiaozong, Queen Zhang. Xiaozong was definitely killed by the imperial physician, and Empress Zhang chose to approve it afterwards. Zhengde was also tricked to death by the imperial doctor, and Empress Zhang once again chose to approve.
Marrying an unworthy wife will ruin three generations.
It is unvirtuous to marry a wife in Chenghua, it is unvirtuous to marry a wife in Hongzhi, it is unvirtuous to marry a wife in Zhengde, and it is unvirtuous to marry a wife in Jiajing.
There have been many generations of unworthy wives.
When it comes to Tianqi, the famous beauty queen Zhang Yan really digs out that period of history bit by bit, and it’s terrifying to think about it.
As for why the Qing Dynasty didn’t have this problem?
Because the queens of the Qing Dynasty were all Manchu and Mongolian nobles, naturally the queen mothers were also all Manchu and Mongolian nobles.
And what about those top Hanchens? A dog belonging to the Manchu emperor.
We cannot say that these Han ministers are dog slaves, just dogs, because they are not qualified to be called slaves.
The queen and queen mother who were born into Manchu and Mongolian nobles had no motive to kill the emperor.
The Manchu ministers had no motive to kill the emperor.
As for the Han ministers going to kill the emperor, do you think the queen and queen mother would endorse a few dogs after the killing?
The safety of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was also due to the fact that the Qing Dynasty had its own national conditions.
Another important reason is that the Qing emperor was not very enthusiastic about reform.
Yongzheng and Guangxu, who were rare adherents to reform, actually died without knowing it.
In all dynasties, deep reform has been difficult and dangerous. Everyone has the same end, so no one should laugh at anyone.
What people fear most is not knowing themselves.
People like Zhu Qiyu, who knew that reform would offend people, so they took the initiative to go to the mountains to become Taoist priests, were much safer than those careless Ming emperors.
…
At noon the next day, Zhu Qiyu summoned the eunuchs in the inner court in batches.
Ruan Rang is now the manager of Queen Qian's Changchun Palace, and Ruan Lang is also the manager of Queen Zhou's Kunning Palace.
Zhu Qiyu chatted with these two people for a total of an hour, inquired about everything, and asked that the safety of the two queens must be ensured. The previous fire in Qianqing Palace must not happen again, or if Queen Qian has any good luck again, then All the people in the Changchun Palace still had the only ending of being killed with a stick.
After giving a stern warning, Zhu Qiyu let the two of them leave.
Then came Shu Liang, Zhang Yong and Wang Qin. Zhu Qiyu told these three trusted eunuchs very seriously: "You have to watch over the entire imperial city for me, and you must not catch fire again.
Everything happens again and again, not again and again.
The Forbidden City has been hit twice this year, and both were very, very serious fires that burned most of the entire Forbidden City.
Therefore, we can't let it catch fire again in the past two years, otherwise it will be too obvious, and everyone knows that this is a fierce internal fight between the two factions. "
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu was reminded: "The three of you, plus Wang Cheng, a total of four people, are responsible for monitoring the imperial city, and at the same time, step up the cultivation of cronies.
There is no need to get too involved in the inner court struggle. You should also keep a low profile when serving as the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and do not have to conflict with the cabinet on political matters.
At the end of the year, when Li Jin comes back from North Korea, he will bring back a group of young eunuchs. When the time comes, we will divide these little eunuchs into parts, and we will train them from scratch.
Those who came to seek refuge halfway, after all, did not dare to use it with complete confidence. "
After hearing this, everyone quickly obeyed their leader's orders.
Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qin must be firmly tied to the same boat as Zhu Qiyu. With Zhu Qiyu here, the four of them are the most respectable eunuchs in the inner court. Without Zhu Qiyu, the four of them are not even as good as dogs.
Therefore, these four people must follow Zhu Qiyu wholeheartedly.
In terms of trust, Zhu Qiyu also trusted the four of them, and they were loyal enough.
But the relationship between Zhu Qiyu and these four loyal eunuchs is not very close after all, and they always feel like there is still a layer of separation.
After talking about business, Zhu Qiyu motioned for the three of them to go back. Zhang Yong was hesitant to speak and didn't seem to want to leave.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "If you have anything else, just tell me, don't worry."
Hearing this, Zhang Yong plucked up the courage to ask, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask about Mr. Cheng's current situation."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, his smile immediately faded. Upon seeing this, Zhang Yong was so frightened that he immediately knelt down to plead guilty.
Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand to help Zhang Yong, and sighed heavily: "There are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you the truth.
The struggle for the throne has been like this in all dynasties. When the Emperor returns to the capital, it will be a life-or-death situation between us.
I promised glory and wealth at the beginning, but is Mr. Cheng willing to follow me wholeheartedly to participate in the battle for the throne?
You all know in your heart that Mr. Cheng himself is unwilling.
What can I do? There are only so many positions in the inner court, one carrot and one pit.
I give him a high priority, but if he wavers and is ambiguous, what will we do then?
You must understand that the battle for the throne will lead to death. One sway, one leak of information, could very well kill you all.
Not only do I want to live well myself, but I also want to be responsible for your future. "
