Qianxue smiled bitterly and said: "On July 7th, Shu Liang left the Xuan Mansion and returned to the capital. On July 9th, Yang Jie's house was burned down."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Hey, I need a Zhidu now. It's really impossible to survive without Zhidu. You can write a decree yourself and order Lu Gao to lead 10,000 brocade guards to Xuanfu.
Tell them that this time the Xuanfu sent out a mission, the useful Jin Yiwei returned to the capital to be promoted and make a fortune, while the useless Jin Yiwei went to Jiaozhi to kill the enemy and serve the country.
If all of them are useless, then let them die in Xuan Mansion and none of them will have to come back. "
Zhu Qiyu's attitude towards Jin Yiwei is very clear. I don't expect you to protect the emperor anymore. You just need to be able to investigate and handle cases.
If this can't be done, then I'm sorry, the emperor of tomorrow will not support idle people.
Qianxue asked again: "Shu Liang is back, husband, do you want to see him?"
"No need to meet, let him be responsible for rebuilding the East Factory. Let him choose three to five hundred capable young eunuchs to form a more powerful East Factory to monitor the entire capital for me.
After the Jin Yiwei went to Xuan Mansion for training, all the useful ones were assigned to the command of Dongchang.
However, this will definitely arouse opposition from the government and the opposition. At that time, I will "under pressure" and abolish the inner factory and the west factory.
I will make major adjustments to the functions of the 24th Supervisory Bureau of the Inner Court, and the functions of the inner factory and the clean army will be placed into the inner official supervision. As for changing the name of West Factory, I haven't decided yet.
Anyway, it’s just a change of soup, not medicine, and something special about Jingtai Dynasty. "
Qianxue nodded and continued: "The prince was frightened and developed a stuttering problem. The famous doctor said that it is likely that he will not be able to cure it in his lifetime.
Emperor Gongrang ordered Ruan Lang to write a letter requesting that Queen Zhou be moved to Ciqing Palace to live with the prince and take care of the prince. "
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "A very good child was ruined by a power struggle. Let Chen Xun lead the civil and military officials to pay his respects.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it. You said it has already come to this point. What's wrong with the eldest brother asking to abdicate on behalf of the prince?
The world is so big, they can create a vassal state wherever they want. What’s the point of having to fight here?
If I wave my hand now, they will all die, so why bother testing my humanity?
Hey, let’s reject the Emperor Gongrang’s request. Just say that the emperor Gongrang, the queen, and concubines all participated in the rebellion, and I was extremely merciful by sparing his life. How can I let the rebels educate the prince again? "
Ningxiang smiled and answered: "I have an idea, Gong Rang. Besides the Qian family, the Zhou family, and the Wan family, don't you have seven women left?
The seven of them were originally concubines, but were tortured and turned into palace maids.
The husband made the seven of them concubines because they did not participate in the rebellion. He also ordered Zhi Gong to let the emperor's favorite girl Ling'er take care of the prince.
And Miss Ling'er was allowed to take the prince to Chonghua Palace to pay his respects at any time.
This is also decent, and the ruling and opposition parties have nothing to say. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Wonderful, very wonderful, let's make Miss Ling'er a concubine."
"Become a concubine?"
"Success means the beauty of adulthood. Changing the title of King Xiang to Prince Lecheng means optimism about success."
Upon hearing this, Qianxue teased: "Prince Xiang's sons are all dead, and he himself has lost his fertility. It's really embarrassing for my husband to make him optimistic about his success."
Zhu Qiyu replied: "You don't know that King Xiang is the staunchest supporter of Emperor Gongrang. If we are defeated, haha, just wait.
Your tragic fate cannot be described with just one word.
As a winner, I have enough tenderness for them.
If it had been the wise and powerful Emperor Xuanmiao, all of their family would have died long ago. "
"That's true. Yesterday, the cabinet jointly submitted a letter requesting a sutra feast. They want to educate my husband. How can I give my approval?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Just go ahead, it doesn't matter."
"Who is participating?"
"Wang Wen, Xu Youzhen, Huang Pu, and He Yi. Plus Lian Gang, Xu Zheng, Huang Jian, Wang Yue, Gao Yao, and Wang Xian were in attendance.
Tell them that in the future, a custom will be formed, and ten people will attend each banquet.
Take turns, this time it’s the ten people, and the next time it’s the other ten people. "
Qianxue nodded: "Then let's get dressed and go out. Prince Su should be arriving soon."
So a few people came to Ganquan Palace dressed neatly, chatting and laughing.
After watching the scenery at Guanxin Pavilion for a while, when the young eunuch came to report that King Su's car was approaching, Zhu Qiyu took his four beloved concubines to the gate of Ganquan to greet King Su personally.
Along the way, King Su sighed at the spaciousness and flatness of the Qi State Avenue, and unknowingly arrived outside the Prince of Qi's Mansion.
Before I could take a closer look, I saw that the emperor was already standing outside the palace gate with his beloved concubines.
King Su was so panicked that he quickly jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward quickly to pay homage.
Zhu Qiyu hurriedly supported him: "Uncle, there is no need to be too polite. Today is just a family banquet. We don't care about the emperor and his ministers, we just talk about our close friendship."
King Su refused, and the two sides struggled for a while before King Su reluctantly agreed not to kneel down.
The four Lin Xiangyu sisters also stepped forward to salute King Su, who gave another humble speech.
After finally seeing the ceremony, Zhu Qiyu personally took Prince Su into Ganquan Palace. The group chatted and strolled slowly to Qingyun Pavilion.
Prince Su couldn't stop praising: "The Ganquan Palace of your Majesty has such picturesque scenery that it is like a fairy palace. In comparison, Prince Su's Mansion in Chenna is simply a place where country people live."
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "My great-uncle was joking, and my great-nephew was often laughed at by the government and the public. They all said that I had a low life. I couldn't live in the Forbidden City and had to go to the ravines to practice Taoism."
My great-uncle's Prince Su's Mansion in Ganzhou has not been inhabited for a long time and should be in need of repairs. When Su Fan was ordered to move inward, it was all because of the appearance of sycophants in the court.
Now my uncle is asked to move back again, and the repair costs will be borne entirely by the imperial court. In addition, the great-uncles can also retain the Prince Su's Mansion in Lan County. "
When King Su heard this, he stood up again to thank him.
Zhu Qiyu stopped quickly and said to King Su: "My grandnephew still needs to apologize to my uncle. It has been a hundred years since the Ming Dynasty was founded, and the situation is different from that of Taizu.
According to the vassal policy formulated by Taizu, the number of clans grew too fast, and the court could not bear it in the long run.
Therefore, I want to carry out vassal reform and change the original eight-level title to a third-level title.
Moreover, only the sons of the principal concubine and the second concubine are recognized as inheriting the title, in order to control the number of clan members. Please forgive me, uncle. "
King Su nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can understand. The policy formulated by Taizu did not consider the long term. In a few generations, the clan will reach tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Who can bear this?" ah.
Moreover, giving so many titles will make them less and less valuable.
Generals who assist the country and generals who serve the country are all over the streets. What's the point of grabbing a lot of them?
I just don’t know, will the Holy One relax his control over the lower-level clans and allow them to fend for themselves? "
Zhu Qiyu nodded, this Prince Su was really considerate.
However, there are also objective factors: that is, King Su only has one only son, and King Su's only son also has only one only son.
In other words, at least two generations of King Su have been passed down in a single line. The so-called vassal reform will not affect King Su and King Su's son for the time being.
As for what to do with King Su's grandson, it's a bit too far-term to worry about.
