Chapter 634 Empress Li, Concubine Zhu

Lu Si did not applaud, but was really impressed by the political wisdom of the people.

Think about it carefully, it's wrong.

This is not the political wisdom of the people, but the political wisdom of the bureaucratic group.

Because He Zhen’s roots are not correct and the seedlings are not red.

This guy was born in the former Ming Dynasty's official army. Later, when the Ming Dynasty was not good, he became a speculator and surrendered. It was precisely because of his unfair roots that He Zhen surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Hanzhong and attacked Li Guo and others. However, fortunately, this guy had national justice and repented. He regarded himself as the successor of Li Zicheng, and raised his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. The battle ended, so he did not lose a good man.

This is also the reason why Lu Si personally went to Hanzhong to persuade He Zhen to return to Dashun.

But no matter who has wisdom or method, it is a serious and good way.

It is a good virtuous cycle to sell antique calligraphy and paintings to rich people first, and then use the money and food provided by rich people to cross the river, and then chase the stolen goods and help the salary.

Things are back; money and food are also there.

The country has been unified and the people have made progress.

I have to say that it is a clever and perfect method.

This is still aimed at the domestic situation. If Lu Siyi gritted his teeth and ignored the world's view, he would pack his things to North Korea, Annan, Japan and even sell them in his hands, and then let Zuo Dazhuzi, Xu and others wear cassocks to get them back with the principal and interest, which would be a good deal.

Just considering the reputation of Dashun and his reputation a hundred years later, Lu Si didn't dare to bite his teeth.

The sales routes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings to Jiangnan have been opened long ago. Xuzhou has a special agency responsible for this matter. There are many relevant professionals. As long as the seized things are transported here, cultural exchanges between the two sides of the Yangtze River will definitely be frequent.

With silver and food, the new policies of Dashun can be implemented.

No matter which dynasty or generation, there is no reason why the emperor sent a hungry soldier and an official.

After talking about other matters in Wuying Palace, Lu Si ordered the generals to disperse and take their own duties. His nephew Guangyuan and others began to visit the palace.

Except for a few eunuchs in the Forbidden City, the palace ladies left the capital with Manchu, most of the others fled to the people. Now there are about 800 eunuchs left in the palace and more than 500 palace maids.

Most of these eunuchs and palace maids are elderly, and there are many who have experienced five and six dynasties, just like the old eunuch Wei Liangchen.

These people are also pitiful. They are homeless without children and can only stay in the palace and wait for the new lord to fall. If they are driven out of the palace, they can only become beggars in the city.

Lu Si did not discriminate against eunuchs because this was also their job, and it was not their choice to take this path.

To be honest, in terms of loyalty and righteousness, there were much more eunuchs who died for the country in the Chongzhen Dynasty than civil officials who died for the country.

It was unreasonable for King Lu Chuang of Dashun to smash the jobs of these poor people as soon as he entered Beijing.

Lu Si is not sure how old they are in the palace, and after Luanzhou is captured, a large number of palace maids will definitely be added to the palace maids, so Lu Si is planning to marry the palace maids who are still able to give birth to meritorious soldiers and allocate land in the capital.

The Forbidden City is very chaotic now, not people, but when Manchu leaves the palace, it is the looting of valuable items from each hall, and eunuchs and palace servants take the opportunity to steal. So don’t look at the majestic walls of the Forbidden City, which are royal, but many halls are empty, even the tables and chairs are looted.

Lu Si walked along the way, and some palace doors and windows were damaged.

"Where are the portraits of the emperors in the previous Ming Dynasty?"

Lu Si suddenly stopped and asked the old eunuch Wei Liangchen who was following behind.

"Long live back, after the Tartars entered the palace, they took down all the portraits of the former Ming emperors worshipped by the Taimiao. Now I don't know where I am."

Wei Liangchen replied respectfully, not far away, more than a dozen old eunuchs stood in the corner and did not dare to come here, and those people looked at him with great envy.

Can you not envy it? The old guy swept his life and suddenly came to his feet and could speak to the new emperor of Dashun. What if this is not the smoke from the ancestral grave?

Lu Si nodded, called his nephew Guangyuan, and ordered him to lead people to archive all the historical materials of the Qianming Palace and the cabinet that the Manchus did not take away, and to move all the documents of the six departments to Wenhua Hall for custody. The daily notes and related documents that recorded the lives of the emperor in the Ming Dynasty must be kept as recorded and cannot be destroyed.

"Let Jiang Xue organize a group of people to sort out the categories, and then choose a place in the Beijing to prepare the National History Museum for special preservation, so that it can be used for the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is the previous dynasty or our Dashun, we should leave first-hand detailed historical materials for future generations, and record everything they have done and said in a complete way. Never tamper with it, because this is our responsibility to our descendants."

After explaining these things, Lu Si said again: "The whereabouts of the portraits of the emperors of the previous Ming Dynasty should be found as soon as possible. Find a copy of the painter imitation and copy placed in the National History Museum. The original version should be properly hidden and not destroyed."

Lu Si was more concerned about the portraits of the emperors of the Zhu family, because when he visited the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in his previous life, he found that the angular Xiaoling Mausoleum was actually a portrait of the ugly Ming Taizu made by literati in Manchu, rather than the portrait of the Ming Taizu preserved in the Ming Dynasty.

The two images are a world of difference.

Overthrowing the Ming Dynasty was a victory for the people and a victory for Dashun, but this success was a dignified victory. Lu Si did not need to vilify the emperors of the Ming Dynasty to sing the orthodox law of Dashun, and the so-called obedience to the heavenly destiny.

Guangyuan must be appointed as the prince and will also serve as the president of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the things Lu Si explained were also Guangyuan's duties.

Lu Si was also thinking about the matter in the palace. After Manchu entered the pass, most of the twenty-four yamen in the inner court in the Ming Dynasty were laid off, but some yamen were retained and under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Lu Si's attitude was to sever these institutions if possible, and would not be retained, and would not be restored.

As for the eunuchs and palace servants, Lu Si still respected the characteristics of the times and kept them after the screening of the scriptures left in the palace. The palace will be buried in the palace when they die in the future. Those who leave the palace can also come back, as long as there is no problem with the screening, they can be taken back. However, they cannot accept new people, such as the miserable child who was sent to the parents at a young age.

Lu Si considered whether he would give a special order after the central government was established and strictly prohibited from purging himself. How to arrange the harem in the future? Should eunuchs no longer use palace servants, or set up a normal organization like Manchuria to be responsible for it, and then make arrangements after the affairs of the foreign court are basically finalized.

He had already entrusted Xuzhou to let Gao Qifeng, the former Ming army supervisor who surrendered Dashun, enter the capital. Therefore, he temporarily controlled the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and then he would definitely hand over the matter of the inner palace to his wife Li Cuiwei. As for Changning, since Lu Si had given the betrothal gift to others, he would definitely not regret the marriage. He decided to book Changning as the imperial concubine according to Gu Junen's idea.

This is not a balance, because Chang Ning cannot represent any mountain interests in Shunjun.

The wind suddenly became a little louder. The nephew Lu Yiliang came forward with a cloak to put it on for the fourth grandfather and asked, "Where to sleep tonight?"

“Where to sleep?”

Lu Si looked around and said, "Go to the Ganqing Palace."

Guangyuan said: "Didn't Mr. Gu say that Gong Buxiang?"

"As long as it's not haunted."
