Four women in one play.
There is a big drama here with Emperor Gongrang, and there is also a big drama with Emperor Jingtai.
Early the next morning, the memorial drafted by Jin Ying was sent to Feng Pavilion along with hundreds of other memorials.
Jin Ying's memorial is placed at the top so that everyone can see it at a glance.
Xu Zheng picked it up first, glanced at it, and then handed it to Huang Jian. Huang Jian also glanced at it and handed it to Wang Yue.
Wang Yue, Yu Zijun, Gao Yao, Wang Xian, Sheng Yong, and Ma Wensheng all rushed to take charge.
The six of them were eager to "dedicate themselves wholeheartedly" to the emperor. Secondly, the main reason was that if they stayed in the capital, they would be endlessly persuaded by others to write memorials, which was really unbearable.
It's okay for others to just follow the crowd. The six Wang Yue people will not be so stupid as to give up the bright future visible to the naked eye and go crazy with others.
And everyone can eat, drink, and live for free in Prince Qi’s Mansion. There are also maids and servants to wait on you. You can taste famous dishes from all over the country without spending a penny of salary. Why not?
Jin Ying's memorial was passed around and finally reached He Yi. He Yi glanced at it and began to shake his head.
Seeing this, Gao Yao asked curiously: "Brother Xingyi, is there any mystery in this?"
He Yi smiled and said: "There are a lot of mysteries, but many things cannot be explained clearly. You have to understand it yourself. Seeing through things without telling them is the right way to survive in officialdom.
However, the Holy Emperor's mind is much better than you think. You must have full confidence in the Holy Spirit. "
Hearing this, Gao Yao nodded repeatedly, then picked up Jin Ying's memorial and read it carefully.
Gao Yao looked left and right and saw only two words in the memorial: cannibalism.
The Miao people were originally good, but you, Uncle Jingyuan, castrated them and brought them into the palace, where they lived an inhuman life.
Forget it, after all, the Miao people are still a foreign race.
The people in the southeast of the family provoked whoever they wanted, just because they couldn't live any longer, they gathered a crowd to resist, and were castrated by the Marquis of Ningyang as a gift to the emperor.
The Xixin Department and the Bell and Drum Department don't sound like a good place.
Being a servant in the palace of the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress is not a good job. If you make any mistake, you will be beaten to death at any time.
These three hundred young eunuchs can be regarded as having just escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth again.
Everyone else was also thinking about their own thoughts, secretly speculating on the intentions of these top leaders.
It was almost noon when Zhu Qiyu came to Fengge leisurely.
Huang Pu said: "Your Majesty, all the memorials have been sorted into categories. Please take a look."
Zhu Qiyu was the first to pick up Jin Ying's memorial, glanced at it casually, then smiled at Huang Pu and said, "That's right."
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qiyu added: "I have already said that the harvesting of wood will be completely stopped. Therefore, the wood needed to rebuild Renshou Palace must be removed from other palaces, and no additional purchases are allowed."
Huang Pu heard this and asked for instructions: "May I ask Your Majesty, which palaces will be demolished specifically?"
"First demolish the palaces on the west side of the Qing Palace, starting from the West Sixth Palace. If it is not enough, demolish the Qin'an Palace in the Imperial Garden as well."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Today, I really love the people as my own son. In order to show sympathy for the people, I would even do such disgraceful things as demolishing the old palace and building a new one.
Zhu Qiyu was secretly happy that the three hundred little eunuchs he had prepared for Empress Dowager Sun and Emperor Gongrang were finally taken over by them on their own initiative.
You should train them slowly, especially those more than a hundred Miao people. I would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe that you can truly conquer these Miao people.
Don't think that you could tame castrated prisoners of war into obedient slaves before, and you can do it now. The characters of the Miao and Jiaozhi people are different.
As for moving all the concubines of Emperor Gongrang into Nangong, that would suit Zhu Qiyu's wishes very well. Three women can put together a big show. Dozens of women can put together a show. Oh, I don't dare to think about it.
It's time for us brothers to have a good competition. I have already mastered the control of fifteen women, and now it's up to my eldest brother, the Emperor.
After approving Jin Ying's memorial, Zhu Qiyu began to look through other people's memorials.
To everyone's surprise, the emperor's reaction was as expected. He was cheerful from beginning to end, without any anger at all.
Everyone has seen how hurtful the ministers' cynicism in the memorial was.
However, the emperor didn't care. He just took Ye Sheng's memorial and smiled at Wang Yue and others: "This Ye Sheng, like you, was also from Zhongshushe. He has both literary talent and military knowledge. I am very fond of it." Appreciate his talent.
Now he has published this memorial, saying that I am greedy for power and abuse my eldest brother. They also vaguely accused me of cultivating cronies and excluding dissidents.
In particular, it was pointed out that the eldest brother, the emperor, was the legitimate son of Xuanmiao, and the crown prince was the eldest grandson of Xuanmiao. His position was determined and could not be changed.
Also, six of you who are Jinshi in the same department have come forward to ask me to reflect on myself and change my attitude towards my eldest brother and his family. Brothers must not kill each other or fight against each other in the same room. "
Zhu Qiyu paused, then continued to nod and praise: "It is better for us in Jingtai Dynasty, there are so many people who want to be Wei Zheng.
I remember that when my mother was deposed, no one in the civil and military officials of the Xuande Dynasty was willing to stand up and demand justice for my mother.
We have so many loyal ministers in the Jingtai Dynasty, I feel very relieved and comforted. "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't laugh or cry. This is mutual ridicule. The ministers mocked the emperor for wanting to be like Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and the emperor mocked the ministers for his love of dragons and his desire to imitate Wei Zheng, but he only imitated four different traits.
Wei Zheng's uprightness was not learned, and he just bullied the weak and feared the strong for the sake of reputation.
Seeing that no one answered, Zhu Qiyu continued: "Ye Sheng also mentioned in his memorial that I rejected the orthodox courtiers and transferred Shang Ren and Peng Shi to Nanjing to idle.
He suggested that I transfer the two of them back to Beijing and put them to good use. To show fairness and relieve the suspicion of the government and the public.
Xingyi, what do you think? "
He Yi replied without thinking: "Zou Qian, the Minister of Rites, regardless of his own safety, ran around and shouted for the emperor to fight against injustice. His loyalty is commendable and he should be rewarded.
Shang Ren and Peng Shi, two Hanlin bachelors, assisted His Majesty in stabilizing the court and defending the capital when he respectfully asked the emperor to hunt in the north. They have made great contributions to the country and should be rewarded. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Then we will draw up a decree. We will promote Zou Qian to the position of Minister of Rites, and he will be in charge of the ministry together with Yu Shiyue. We will transfer Shang Ren and Peng Shi back to Beijing.
Shang Ren was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Peng Shi was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. "
When everyone heard this, they were even more puzzled. Zou Qian, Shang Ran, and Peng Shi are all at the top level, and they cannot rise so quickly under normal circumstances.
Then Zhu Qiyu ordered: "Archive all these memorials. If there are any memorials with the same content, except those written by new scholars, you don't need to show me the rest that have nothing to say."
After that, Zhu Qiyu left everyone behind and went home.
Just after noon, the approved memorial and the drafted edict were sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
After Wang Cheng, Jin Ying and others approved the red seal, the edict was officially issued.
