Yongxingfang, Tang Mansion.
The mansion covers an area of more than ten acres, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions. The regulations are the same as those of the royal palace.
Tang Mingyuan came back from the execution ground, worried.
Sitting in the study, drinking cup after cup of tea, I recalled that I suddenly came to this world, and originally I only planned to make a living and live a leisurely life as a rich man.
I never expected that God would not fulfill my wishes, but people and things pushed me to where I am today.
"Kekeke..."
A burst of laughter as clear as a bell came, pulling Tang Mingyuan back from his thoughts. He raised his head and looked out the window. It turned out that his daughter was lying on the window sill looking at him.
"Have you finished your homework, Tongtong?"
"It's been written a long time ago!"
The daughter pouted, and then asked with concern: "Why is daddy unhappy? Tell me, mother said this will make things easier."
"Nothing."
Tang Mingyuan stroked his daughter's bun, and his originally determined heart was somewhat shaken.
The governor of Dongchang acted strangely and dangerously, and if he joined forces with him, one careless move would be a major crime against the nine tribes. People with five roots did not care about their relatives, and Tang Mingyuan could not bear to leave his wife and daughter.
"After all, I'm not a material for big things."
Tang Mingyuan coaxed his daughter away, thinking about how to check for leaks and fill in the gaps to increase his chances of winning.
After a while.
His wife Su Yun'er opened the door and came in, put on fresh tea for Tang Mingyuan, stood behind her and gently massaged the top of his head: "Tongtong said your husband has something on his mind?"
Tang Mingyuan briefly told the story of his encounter with the Governor, held his wife's hand, and sighed.
"When I close my eyes now, I see the Lu family's heads rolling, and the cries of Mr. Lu's grandson are ringing in my ears, so that something must be done, and must be done!"
Su Yun'er supported: "My husband is the head of the family. I will support whatever you want."
Tang Mingyuan said worriedly: "Nothing is guaranteed to happen in this world. If you are not careful, it will endanger the lives of both of you. It is better to leave the capital and return to Jiangning to visit relatives."
"When such a storm is coming, what will Your Majesty think when the chief minister of the court sends away his wife and daughter?"
Su Yun'er said: "It's better to be safe in the capital, where His Majesty can see us, and to increase our chances of winning."
Tang Mingyuan praised: "Yun'er is extremely talented, but it's a pity that she was born at the wrong time. If she had been born hundreds of thousands of years later, she might have been able to leave the cabinet and become a prime minister."
Su Yun'er smiled and said: "How can a woman be the prime minister in the world? Isn't the world in chaos?"
Tang Mingyuan said: "Not only can I be the prime minister, I can also ascend the throne and become the emperor!"
"My husband is just joking."
Su Yun'er knew her husband's temperament and often said some shocking words, but after listening to his explanation, they still made sense, so she solemnly reminded him.
"Ms. Sir, the Governor of the East Factory is cunning and insidious. Remember to be careful if you join forces with him. If it comes true, he will be in control of the palace. He is already similar to the deposed regent!"
Tang Mingyuan shook his head and said: "I can't defeat the Governor of Dongchang."
He couldn't compare with him in terms of intelligence and cognition. Even if he tried hard enough, Tang Mingyuan didn't think he was far behind, but he couldn't survive in terms of longevity.
Zhou Yi does not need to fight to the death with Tang Mingyuan, he just needs to endure it slowly and win.
Su Yun'er frowned slightly: "Then we need to take precautions early. We can set up the Beijing camp to garrison the four city gates to maintain a stalemate with Dongchang."
"Yun'er, don't worry."
Tang Mingyuan counted the time, and Eunuch Lu, who contacted the world's masters, would be back in another year at most.
"Duke Zhou will not be long in the capital!"
…
After the Lu family's rebellion, Jiuchangshi had great power.
Tang Mingyuan did not avoid the massacre of his colleagues, and deliberately showed weakness to Jiuchang Shi. He repeatedly gave in and allowed these eunuchs to obstruct and change the new policy.
For example, the late emperor had abolished the poll tax, and Mr. Lu, who was walking in the Ministry of Household Affairs, was very dissatisfied and demanded that new-born babies be taxed.
"The late emperor exempted the head tax from the Zhengtong period, and births during the Tianshun period will not be counted!"
The government decree was issued, and the officials collected poll taxes from children under four years old in accordance with the law.
Fortunately, the landlords and gentry were not short of a few taels of tax money. Many poor people had no money left, so they had no choice but to throw their children to death or drown them in order to get tax exemptions.
It is impossible to rebel, but now a benevolent king is in charge!
The common people could not afford the Dingkou tax and did not dare to have children. They went home and slept in their clothes every day, fearing that they could not bear the fundamental desire between men and women.
Confucianism’s desire to destroy people, slogans that have been shouted for thousands of years, are of no use. To achieve it, we have to rely on policies!
Eunuch Lu divided the poll tax collected into thirty-seven with Emperor Tianshun, and offered seven to his Majesty three together with the newly developed powerful Peiyuan soup.
Emperor Tianshun was well aware of what Eunuch Lu had done, so instead of criticizing him harshly, he issued an edict to confer a title on him.
An Gongbo!
At the same time, Emperor Tianshun was very satisfied with Tang Mingyuan's concession. He issued several decrees to reward various gold, silver and jewelry, and also named Su Yun'er a first-grade imperial concubine.
The growing favor is evident.
When Tang Mingyuan received the imperial edict, he was reading the secret book sent by Dongchang, which recorded how many people in various states had killed their children with their own hands.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness, I will do my best!"
After saying that, he did two things. First, he recommended Zeng Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment as the second assistant.
Their age and merits all met the law, so the process went smoothly. Of course, there were more than ten people who met the criteria, and most of them survived until death without joining the cabinet.
Then he wrote a letter and sent it to southern Xinjiang and handed it to General Xie who was fighting against the barbarians.
Tianshun four years.
winter.
General Xie invented a new type of artillery, destroyed the Man King's stronghold, and captured the Man King and hundreds of others alive, thus establishing a new territory and destroying the country.
Emperor Tianshun was overjoyed.
Decide to escort the barbarian king back to the capital and offer prisoners to the Ancestral Temple!
The following spring.
General Xie led his troops back to Beijing and was granted the title of Marshal of Zhennan.
Emperor Tianshun personally beheaded the Man King in the Ancestral Temple and placed it on the incense table along with the three animal sacrifices as a sacrifice to the ancestors of the Zhao family.
The newly appointed Minister of Rites, Xu Shangshu, wrote a eloquent 30,000-word congratulations, touting Emperor Tianshun as the supreme emperor and supreme ancestor.
Emperor Tianshun was supported by his two godsons and eunuchs, and his blue-gray face showed a sickly, excited red.
"I am destiny!"
…
Tianshun five years.
It was supposed to be spring in March, but it snowed for several days and nights.
A spring snow brings a disaster.
The people who depended on the weather for food saw large tracts of wheat seedlings freezing to death in the fields. They wanted to cry but did not dare to cry out, lest they be captured by the police.
On this great day for the country, why are you crying? Do you have a problem with His Majesty?
The happy event originated in the palace. Concubine Shu, who was ten months pregnant, was about to give birth. According to the judgment of the Taiyuan Hospital and the medical doctor Liu Yuyi's pulse, there was a high probability that she would be a prince!
The foundation of the country will be solid and the country will last for thousands of years.
Emperor Tianshun decreed that Concubine Shu be made empress and take charge of Kunning Palace.
Doctor Liu was ordered to check the pulse every day and make sure there was no mistake, otherwise he would be punished. After Concubine Shu, no matter how many maids were procured, no one was pregnant.
This day.
Dr. Liu came out from the corner gate of the palace and got on the sedan chair going back to the Taiyuan Hospital.
An old voice suddenly came into my ears: "How many days will it take to give birth?"
Dr. Liu said in a low voice: "I will use secret medicine to stabilize the fetus, and the baby will be delivered around the uterus in ten days. It will not differ by an hour."
After waiting for a moment, there was no sound.
Imperial Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was frightened by the vicious reputation of the Governor and always felt extremely nervous when talking to him.
Return to Tai Hospital.
The colleagues I met along the way all bowed and saluted, and used various overt and covert auspicious words to flatter me.
Doctor Liu felt refreshed immediately, and the taste of power was more fascinating than beauty, gold and silver. Carefully think about how to accurately control the fetus, and report an error of one hour to the governor, but the actual error can only be a quarter of an hour.
This is real credit, and it will definitely pay off in the future.
Since joining the Du Gong in the fourth year of Zhengtong, Liu Yuyi has been promoted all the way to the court judge. He has helped Dongchang do many good and bad things, right and wrong. They have been inseparable for a long time.
The Governor had gone through three dynasties, and he had promoted countless little people, and Liu Yuyi was just one of them.
